Salad Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, stems removed and shredded (453 g)
- 1 red apple, diced
- ½ cup grated parmesan or pecorino romano (50 g)
- ½ cup dried cranberries (60 g)
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Dressing Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (60 mL)
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard (30 g)
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice (30 mL)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, diced red apple, grated parmesan or pecorino romano, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds. Toss gently to mix all salad ingredients evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, then toss everything together to ensure the dressing coats all ingredients thoroughly. Serve the salad either at room temperature or chilled, according to preference.
Notes
- The salad can be prepared in advance; store the shredded Brussels sprouts separately and add the dressing just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
- For a nut-free option, omit the sliced almonds or substitute with toasted sunflower seeds.
- Feel free to use other hard cheeses like aged Asiago or Grana Padano as alternatives to parmesan or pecorino.
- To make the salad vegan, replace the parmesan with nutritional yeast and use a vegan-friendly maple syrup.
