Brussels Sprout Salad
Fast and fresh salad with brussels sprouts, apples and seeds, and a light tangy and sweet vinegarette.
Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 11/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove minced
Salad
- 1 lb brussels sprouts trimmed and shredded
- 1 large apple *see note
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup crumbles feta cheese
Instructions
For Dressing
- In a small bowl or jar, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside
For the Salad
- Next, shave the brussels sprouts. This is easily done by using a food processor with the slicing attachment. If you don't have this you can use a mandoline or just a sharp knife slicing as thin as you can.
- Place the shredded brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Add the chopped apple, pumpkin seeds, and cheese. Drizzle the salad with the dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy
Notes
*You can use any apples you may have on hand at this time. I used a Fuji because it is what I had, but granny smith or honey-crisp would be excellent in this
*You could also use sunflower seeds in place of the pumpkin seeds or any other nut of you choice ( I would just chop them if they are large nuts)
* With the cheese I have also made it with Parmesan and it is delicious
