Ingredients

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
  • cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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
