Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cherries and Pistachios

I recently found this recipe on Denise Costello's site The Energized Body.com. Her mission is simple and delicious: "to help you eat your way happy & healthy so you can feel your best, be your best & give your best."  And her take on Brussels sprouts, one of my favorite winter vegetables, was too good not to share!  

This is a simple and satisfying winter “salad” & great for parties!

Ingredients

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons Fire Cider or balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

⅓ cup shelled pistachios

½ cup dried sweet cherries

Method

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss Brussels sprouts on a rimmed cookie sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil and ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, stir to mix, then roast for another 10 minutes, until done to your liking.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and remaining oil and salt. Stir in roasted Brussels sprouts, pistachios and cherries.

Makes a great addition to your holiday table or pot luck!
