Creating this incredible Brussels Sprouts Salad is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting.

2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a mixing bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. They should be golden brown and tender.

4. Toast Nuts: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the chopped walnuts or pecans to the baking sheet to toast alongside the sprouts.

5. Make the Dressing: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

6. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, toasted nuts, dried cranberries or cherries, feta cheese (if using), and red onion.

7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine all ingredients evenly.

8. Serve Warm or Cold: This salad can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
