Warm Brussels Sprout Salad with Hazelnuts and Cranberries

"Brussels sprouts, hazelnuts, and cranberries combine to make a salad that even kids will want to eat. The colors and flavors make a great fall or holiday side dish, but we have been enjoying it all summer as well. I have never liked Brussels sprouts, but they are my husband's favorite vegetable. He doesn't like nuts. This recipe however, pleases both of us. I created the recipe one day when I needed to bring a salad to a church dinner. It was a hit. Also delicious as a cold salad, if you prefer."
