For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts outer leaves discarded + ends trimmed
- 2 medium apple of choice chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ⅓ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese
In a small bowl whisk well all dressing ingredients. Set aside until ready to use.
To prepare the shaved sprouts use a food processor set with the slicing attachment or a very sharp knife.
To a large bowl add the shaved Brussels sprouts together with the remaining ingredients, except for the pumpkin seeds.
Pour over the dressing and using your clean hands, toss and gently massage the sprouts.
Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and serve.
- Apples: We suggest purchasing apples like Honeycrisp or golden delicious. We prefer sweet apples to go with the Brussels sprouts.
- Pumpkin seeds: Feel free to substitute with any nuts or seeds you have on hand.
- Parmesan cheese: Feel free to swap with any cheese you like. Goat cheese goes really well with this salad as well.
- Don't like Brussel sprouts? use spinach or kale.
- Make ahead and store the dressing separately until ready to eat
