Brussels Sprouts with Dijon Vinaigrette

Brussels Sprouts with Dijon Vinaigrette

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts washed, stemmed and sliced lengthwise
  • olive oil
  • 1 carrot sliced thin (see photo)
  • 3-4 scallions sliced in 1/2″ lengths

Dijon:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon capers rinsed (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. In a bowl, toss cut Brussels sprouts in a small amount of olive oil until lightly coated. Arrange, cut side down in a shallow glass roasting dish, and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until slightly roasted and still crunchy.
  • While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the Dijon Vinaigrette. Mix all Dijon ingredients except for the capers in a small dish with a spoon until sugar is dissolved and a smooth consistency has been reached. Taste, and adjust seasonings as necessary. Stir in capers. Set in the refrigerator.
  • Once Brussels sprouts are finished roasting, place them in an uncovered bowl and set them in a cold spot (the freezer works well) for 10-30 minutes, until cooled. Stir carrots and scallions into cooled Brussels sprouts, and finally stir in the Dijon vinaigrette until all vegetables are coated.
  • Serve chilled.
