Brussels Sprout, Blue Cheese, and Glazed-Pecan Salad Recipe

Brussels Sprout, Blue Cheese, and Glazed-Pecan Salad Recipe

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • 6 ounces Maytag blue cheese or Danish blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • Glazed Pecans , coarsely chopped
  1. Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook brussels sprouts in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well; pat dry. Cut brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and place in large bowl. (Vinaigrette and brussels sprouts can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring both to room temperature; rewhisk vinaigrette before continuing.)
  3. Toss brussels sprouts with enough vinaigrette to coat. Transfer to deep platter; spoon any remaining vinaigrette over. Sprinkle with blue cheese and Glazed Pecans.
