Shredded and Roasted Brussels Sprouts tossed with cranberries, walnuts, shallots; topped with rich, decadent baked goat cheese rounds; and drizzled with a smooth, tangy honey balsamic dressing. Easy enough for a week night and elegant enough for the holidays!
Hi guys! Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was preeee-tty jazzy. My mom flew into town on Thursday and spent the entire weekend with Boy and me.
If you follow this blog, you know the past week has been a little rough for my family, with the passing of my grandmother. So it was really nice to have Da Mama in town.
There was a lot of eating… crab cakes, steak, lobster salad, calamari, and a brunch of champions to name a few stand outs.
OUR LATEST VIDEOSMoments of indulging in libations… My mother and I whipped together a seriously delicious winter sangria that she is insisting I share on this here blog spot sometime soon.
A bit of shopping… this was an excursion to say the least, I’ll have to tell you about it later. But, ummmm, how in the world is it that only I bought stuff?! Someone needs to cut off my credit card. (Not really.)
A bunch of laughing
A hint of bickering (I keep it real here)
And tons of simply enjoying each other’s company
It was a great weekend to say the least, and it was exactly what this girl’s soul needed… some lovin.
Needless to say, I hope your weekend was half as good as mine.
Anyways, we are going to keep this short and sweet today, because while I had lots of fun over the weekend, I didn’t have lots of sleep, so I’m not functioning at 100%. Besides, forming a series of eloquent sentences has never been my forte… so it’s in both our best interests for me to keep this to the point. 😉
Today’s dish – Roasted & Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Baked Goat Cheese, Cranberries, Walnuts and Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette.
This is one of my favorite salads but, if I’m being honest, I change my “favorite” something almost as often as I change my pajamas. Life as a food blogger requires continuous development of new recipes, so saying something is my favorite can be fleeting.
But, this salad has still been a constant favorite of mine… a few weeks and a bunch of pajamas later. 😉
Roasted brussels sprouts on their own are bomb dot com, but when you shred them prior, utilize them as the greens in a salad, and top-lock-n-drop it with deliciousness, they become something so much more.
They form a salad dreams are made of.
And they definitely transition into holiday salad perfection. 
This shredded brussels sprouts salad has all the texture and flavor bases covered. It is savory, smoky, salty, a touch garlicky, crunchy and nutty with pops of sweet cranberry deliciousness.
But, that is before you add the baked goat cheese rounds. The baked goat cheese adds a rich, creamy, cheesy decadence to this salad that will make your culinary heart sing. All it requires is a bit of marinating in olive oil, a quick dredge in panko and a flash in the pan oven, so there is no reason it should be skipped!
However, every salad needs a dressing (duh) and the accompanying honey-balsamic vinaigrette is scruuuuuuumptious! It adds a touch of tangy, sweet, smooth flava and balances the fully loaded brussels sprouts salad out perfectly.
This brussels sprouts salad is easy and perfect for your weeknight meal rotation, yet elegant enough for your holiday table. All around it is a salad that I know your family will love. Until next time, friends, Cheers- to shreddin’ it up and chowin’ it down! (<– Lame, I know. I warned you I was tired!)

Shredded and Roasted Brussels Sprouts tossed with cranberries, walnuts, shallots; topped with rich, decadent baked goat cheese rounds; and drizzled with a smooth, tangy honey balsamic dressing. Easy enough for a week night and elegant enough for the holidays!
- 1 Pound Brussels Sprouts – trimmed, outer leaves removed, cut in half & thinly sliced*
- 1 large Shallot – cut in half and thinly sliced
- 2/3 Cup Walnuts – chopped & toasted
- ¾ Cup Dried Cranberries
- Baked Goat Cheese:
- 4 ounce Log Goat Cheese
- 1 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- 1 Clove Garlic – smashed & peeled
- ¼ Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 3 TBS Honey
- 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- ½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Marinate the Goat Cheese: Cut the goat cheese log into 4 equal rounds, roughly ¾’’ wide and 1 ounce in weight each. Place rounds into a shallow baking dish and add olive oil. Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 2 days, gently flipping goat cheese over periodically.
- Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a small jar add all vinaigrette ingredients except the olive oil. Cover and shake to combine. Add the olive oil, cover and shake again to combine. Place jar in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 3 weeks, to allow the flavors to marry.
- Toast the Breadcrumbs: Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the panko and toast, stirring often, until golden brown and evenly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove the panko from heat and transfer to a plate.
- Prepare the Goat Cheese: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- One disk at a time, remove the goat cheese rounds from the olive oil and place on top of the toasted panko, pressing to adhere. Flip rounds over and onto their sides to completely coat rounds with toasted panko. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all four rounds of goat cheese are coated. Set aside.
- Roast the Brussels: Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Add the brussels and shallots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine and spread into an even layer. Roast in oven 10-12 minutes, or until brussels are tender and golden brown, tossing halfway through cook time. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Bake the Goat Cheese: Place goat cheese in oven and bake until soft to touch when gently pressed with fingertip, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- To Serve: In a large bowl, toss together the roasted brussels with the cranberries and walnuts. Drizzle in half of the dressing and toss to combine. Transfer to 4 serving plates and top each with a baked goat cheese round. Serve remaining dressing on the side. Enjoy!
*Inactive time of 1 hour+
*To Shred Brussels Sprouts: Use a mandolin, a sharp knife or a food processor fitted with the slicing blade.

And this salad. . . Mmmmm! Hmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm! Can you tell how scrumptious (why do I always crave salads?) I think this looks? You can bet I’ll be whipping it up in the coming weeks to counteract (at least mentally) all the cookies I plan on devouring.

Glad you had a great time with your Mom, Cheyanne. I love it when I get to spend time with my mom – we’re on opposite coasts but we try and see each other a couple of times a year. As for this salad, I could eat the whole thing!! Love everything in this recipe – the combination of brussels sprouts, goat cheese, walnuts and cranberries sounds just delicious – the honey balsamic dressing doesn’t hurt either!
Quality time with mom is always great, right? Stinks you and your mama are on opposite coasts, but its awesome you make time to see each other a couple times a year!! I totally ate the whole thing of this salad, so I won’t judge if you did the same thing! Thank you so much for the comment, Geraldine! Cheers, lovely!

Mothers are the best! I’m so glad the three of you could spend time together. <3 Looking forward to that sangria recipe sometime soon! P.S. I am so addicted to Brussels sprouts! I think I've eaten like two pounds of them since Thanksgiving a few weeks ago. I just can't get enough! And this salad really hits the spot! Have an awesome week Cheyanne!!
I agree, Moms rock! I am addicted to brussels sprouts and have been eating my weight in them, so I am not judging you consumption!! Thanks for the comment, my dear! <3 Cheers!

Thank you so much, Zainab! Hope you are having a great day, give you adorable baby a little squeeze for me! Cheers!!
You underestimate yourself, Chey! It’s Monday, and you’re already quite eloquent (And now imagine how eloquent you’re on any other (read normal) days. I mean, who could ever be eloquent enough on Mondays? Personally, I don’t talk on Mondays at all). And now this delicious salad! If I’m not mistaken, you had another shredded Brussels sprouts salad last summer. So you’re official the Queen of Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salads. I’m wrapping up now. Remember, I’m not talkative on Mondays?
Hahahaha! I need to try that, not talking on Mondays… but I am such a gabber-walkie, I’m not sure I could go more than 10 minutes NOT talking. 😉 I do have another shredded brussels salad on this here blog spot. I eat LOTS of shredded brussels salads. Just like you eat lots of lavendar! lol. I’ll take the title of Queen for sure! 🙂 Thanks for the giggle, Ben! Cheers!
Dear Cheyanne, I’m so glad you had some time with your mama last weekend. I know you needed it. And looking forward to that sangria recipe. On to this gorgeous salad. Whoa. Baked goat cheese and lots of my favorites. Really really want to try this. I’m the only goat cheese fan in our house. Guess that’s more for me. My sister brought a cranberry encrusted log of goat cheese to our Thanksgiving celebration and it was a huge hit. At least for Susan and me. I think she and I ate, like, the whole thing. Oops. Cranberries and goat cheese pair so beautifully, you got a great thing going here. Have a wonderful week, friend, and thanks for the inspiration. XO
I did have a wonderful time with my mom, Allie! So glad you love baked goat cheese too! Honestly I could eat JUST baked goat cheese as a meal! 😉 Since you are the only fan of goat cheese in your house, that just means MORE for YOU! #Winning! Your sisters log of goat cheese sounds amazing!!! I would have fought you for the whole thing! 😉 Thanks so much for the love, doll! Cheers to you and a beautiful week! xo
Nothing better than spending time with mom! Brussels sprouts is one of these items I still need to learn to love. However, I guess I need to try them to see if I can love ’em…. Your recipe just might get me going on them!
Agreed, Kathy!! I’m so sorry you don’t love brussels sprouts! I actually hated them before I met my husband… then I tried them roasted and just fell in love. I hope the same thing happens for you!! Thanks for the comment, my dear!! Cheers!
While you were on the receiving end of mamma love, I was on the giving end! We spent last week in California, and our weekend with Chels in Santa Barbara was soso lovely. So this salad…YES! Perfect for weeknights but elegant enough for holidays.You nailed it, my friend!! xoxo
Oh, yay(!) to you visiting Chels in Cali!! You are such a good mama! I still want you to adopt me… I mean having TWO moms is better than one. 🙂 Thank you so much for the sweet comment, lovely! Cheers to a day as fabulous as you!
YAY! So glad you got to have a fun weekend with your mom, especially during this time. AND this salad!!! It looks like my favorite thing EVER, even though I haven’t had it yet? I love love love the baked goat cheese. Pinning! Cheers lady!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the pin, doll! This salad is definitely one of my favorite things ever… well for now! 😉 Cheers to a fabulous day!
Sounds like a great weekend with Mom and even though you didn’t get enough sleep you sure delivered a winner here. Love the pan fried goat cheese addition, Got. to. have. this!
Thank you so much, Kevin!! Sleep is something I still haven’t caught up on. Meh. Goat cheese is always winning if you ask me, glad you agree! You do Need this! 😉 Cheers to a beautiful day, buddy!!
Well you are making me want to eat brussel sprouts so all I can say is – well done! This looks lovely!
Hahahaha! Thank you, Jess! Huge compliment! Cheers, my dear!
Looks great Chey! Love to hear you had a great weekend! and of course you should share the sangria recipe! cheers!
Hahahaha! I will have to do that, Gaila! Cheers, doll! *hugs*
I had some roasted brussels sprouts for the lunch today, but not as fancy and beautiful as yours..just simply roasted and tossed with pine nuts and dressing. Yours looks really great with baked goat cheese.
I’m sure your brussels sprouts were just lovely and delicious! And I’m POSITIVE I would have devoured them, Angie, because the simple roast and pine pints sounds scrumptious! Thanks so much for the lovely comment, my dear! Cheers!
Glad you and yo Mama had a great weekend. Yummy recipe Girl! When I first saw the pic, I thought “Oh look, she used the Trader Joe shredded sprouts that everybody uses and that I have not tried yet but need to buy next time I’m there”…but no, you shredded your own. Doin’ it old school! You are my soul mate because I refuse to do things easy in the kitchen. Anywho, thanks for this delicious and healthy recipe. Also, please get that sangria recipe out pronto cos I need a drink!
We did, Karrie! As for TJs… um you should KNOW I don’t have one of those within a 100 miles of here!! Shame on you! lol. And are you just now realizing we our #SoulSistahs?! Ummmmm…. I thought we established that a few calls and a million text messages ago! 😉 Sangria coming up pronto, love bug! Cheers, #bestie!
Baked goat cheese is my latest obsession. I can only imagine how well it pairs with the shredded brussel sprouts and dressing.
Seriously that baked goat cheese is what’s up! I need to try this, I’ve always seen it fried which never really excited me, but this is fantastic!
So my husband hadn’t had brussels sprouts until last winter, he was SUPER against them. And then he actually tried it and (of course) loved them! He has been asking for them lately so I am going to make this over the weekend. I LOVE that you shredded them so finely, YUM!!
So happy you got to spend the weekend with your mom! Mine is coming to visit me this weekend – our main goal is to find her an outfit for my wedding (eeeeek!), but eating is a top priority (duh)! I absolutely love brussels sprouts salads – such a great way to eat them. The fact that you added one of my other favorite things (baked goat cheese) is just fab. I’ve gotta make this ASAP – pinned!
I’m so glad you got some mama love in this weekend – does the soul good! As does lots of good eating, drinking and shopping 🙂 And YES to this salad! You know I love me some Brussels sprouts in a big, big way, and even more so when they are shredded up. I’ve done balsamic and some cranberries and walnuts to flavor it up, but I am seriously crushing on the baked goat cheese addition here – creamy perfection on this amazing salad – thank you for bringing this into my life! XO
Yummy!! This is a salad I an eat all winter. You got me at roasted brussels sprouts, but sweet dried cranberries, and crispy/creamy goat cheese doesn’t hurt either! I’m glad you got to spend quality time with your Mom. I’m sure she has a way of making things better.
Cheyanne – This salad is so beautiful. I love all of the flavors within your dish. 🙂
Now this is the very definition of a healthy, delicious, and gorgeous salad. Great job C, really great job!
Awwww Mom’s make everything better! Glad you go to spend some time with her! What a fabulous salaad!
What a beautiful salad! I loved the baked cheese on top and we can’t forget the cranberries! This would be a great addition to the holiday spread. Pinned. Take care.
So glad you spend the weekend with your mother girl! Moms make everything better for sure! This salad looks gorgeous! Never had goats cheese and brussels sprouts together and I’m so excited to try it! Pinned!
I’m so glad that you had such a nice time with your mom. I’m loving this salad. I’m a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but I’m a bit of a one-tick-pony with it comes to their preparation. If you guessed roasting, then you guessed right. I can’t wait to try this new way to enjoy them! And hello, goat cheese medallions?! Can I have like 10 of them on my salad? It would still be considered a salad, right?
P.S. Can’t wait to see your mom’s winter sangria recipe 🙂
Love this combination! Pinned!
This is the kind of salad my heart skips an extra beat for! Wowzers! I loveeee shredded brussels sprouts…I think it’s the best way to eat them, and to pair them with garlic-y, smoky, salty flavors? Yes please!!! Also I adore baked goat cheese so I would pretty much eat this even if you had just thrown the cheese on top of some shredded paper. ;p (jk, but like, not really) Also, the dressing sounds absolutely perfect…I am totally make this for lunch this weekend! <3 So glad you had fun with your mama….aren't moms the best? they just make everything better! 😀 Lovely job, pretty girl! XO
