To make the dressing combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined and emulsified. Or combine in jar, cover with a lid tightly and shake it until well combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients except for the goat cheese.
Give everything a good toss, drizzle the vinaigrette on top and toss again.
Top with crumbled goat cheese and serve.
Notes
Brussels sprouts can be substituted with cabbage or kale.
The easiest and quickest way to shred brussels sprouts is using a food processor with a shredding disc.
Goat cheese can be substituted with feta cheese, I recommend adding 2 ounces but more cheese can be used.
