Instructions

Trim and shred the Brussels sprouts using a knife, mandoline, or food processor.
Core and thinly slice the apples; chop dried figs into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, apples, figs, and toasted nuts.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Top with cheese if using and serve fresh.

Notes

For a vegan version, use maple syrup and skip or use vegan cheese.
Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts for convenience.
Toss apple slices in lemon juice to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
Fresh figs can be used when in season.
