Brussels Sprouts Salad
Thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, chopped kale, dried cranberries, Parmesan, and crunchy almonds tossed in a bold, tangy honey mustard dressing. Prep it ahead and it stays crisp.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons pure honey
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard, with seeds in it
- 2 tablespoons onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
For the Salad:
- 2 cups chopped kale leaves, no stems
- 2 cups thinly sliced brussels sprouts, no stems
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup roasted/salted almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Make the Dressing ahead of time: Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine well. Add additional salt and pepper, if needed. Cover and chill.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the kale, brussels sprouts, cranberries, and parmesan cheese. Cover and chill until ready to serve (can be done several hours ahead of time.)
- Up to an hour before serving, toss dressing with kale mixture until well combined. Cover and keep chilled or at room temp until serving. When ready to serve, give salad a toss again, and sprinkle with roasted almonds.
Notes
- Substitutions: Swap the almonds for pecans, walnuts, or toasted pumpkin seeds. Feta or goat cheese works in place of Parmesan
- Prep Ahead: Slice the greens and whisk the dressing up to a day ahead. Toss them together up to an hour before serving,
- Storage: Keep the dressing in a jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Dressed leftovers keep up to 2 days.
- Serve alongside our Fresh Corn Avocado Salad for a complete spread.
