Instructions
Gather all ingredients and equipment needed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Wash and rinse off fingerling potatoes, shake off excess water, and pat dry with a paper towel then slice into halves lengthwise and place into a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to fully coat fingerling halves. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking tray and place it into the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes until fully cooked and light golden brown in color and crisp. Remove roasted potatoes from the oven and let cool. Air Fryer Instructions: These can also be cooked in the air fryer by placing the sliced potatoes in an air fryer and lightly misting with oil. Cook in the air fryer for 14-16 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and golden brown in color. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
To make the vinaigrette, add red wine vinegar to a bowl and add whole grain mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle olive oil while continuously whisking until dressing is emulsified and fully combined. Set it aside.
To assemble the salad, add shaved Brussels sprouts and roasted fingerling halves in a large bowl and lightly dress with whole grain mustard vinaigrette. Top the salad with sliced apples, pecan halves, dates, and goat cheese crumbles. Serve right away and enjoy.
