Wilted Brussels Sprouts Salad With Warm Apple Cider Dressing Recipes

WILTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH WARM APPLE-CIDER DRESSING

Steps:

• Thinly slice brussels sprouts crosswise into strips. Repeat with spinach leaves and radicchio. Place brussels sprouts, spinach, and radicchio in a large bowl, and toss to combine; set aside.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together garlic, apple-cider vinegar, honey mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper over medium heat. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer, and cook until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour over brussels sprouts mixture, and toss to combine. Serve salad warm, garnished with goat cheese and caraway seeds, or store in refrigerator up to 2 days, and serve cold.

WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM APPLE CIDER AND BACON DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning it, until it is crisp, transfer it to paper towels to drain, and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the shallot and the apple over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the vinegar, the cider, and salt and pepper to taste, and boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Whisk in the mustard, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl toss the spinach with the warm dressing until it is just wilted and sprinkle the salad with the bacon.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH APPLE CIDER DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl, then drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the sprouts until brown and crispy and tender but not mushy, 25 to 35 minutes, stirring gently about half way through the cooking time.
• While the sprouts roast, make the cider dressing. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and slightly brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the cider, vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to reduce the liquid and thicken the dressing. Remove from heat, stir in the honey and mustard and let cool slightly.
• When the sprouts are ready, remove from the oven and toss in a large bowl with the cooled dressing.
