Shaved Brussels & Honeycrisp Salad
/Shaved Brussels & Honeycrisp Salad
Ready to mix it up this weekend? Bring a burst of fresh crunch to the table! The slightly bitter flavour of Brussels sprouts combines beautifully with the crisp sweetness of Honeycrisp apples and the delightful crunch of pecans. Tossed with a zesty lemon-honey vinaigrette and dotted with juicy pomegranate seeds, this salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed side that’s easy to make and full of seasonal goodness.
Ingredients:
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 large Honeycrisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
A pinch of kosher salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the apple, Brussels sprouts, pomegranate seeds, and pecans. Gently toss to mix. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until the honey is completely dissolved. Then, whisk in the cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of kosher salt until the dressing is well blended.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to evenly coat the ingredients. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Refrigerate the salad for about 15-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve and enjoy!
