Filled with leafy greens, cranberries, almonds, and cheese, this kale and brussel sprout salad works equally well as a light main course or colorful side dish.
4cups Brussel sprouts, ends trimmed, shredded with a mandoline or very thinly sliced
6 kale leaves, stems removed, thinly sliced
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic, grated or minced
1/2cup olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4cup almonds, roughly chopped
1/4cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1/4cup pecorino or parmesan cheese, finely grated
Instructions
In a small bowl or jar, add the shallot, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt, and whisk or shake to combine.
In a large bowl, add the shredded Brussel sprouts and sliced kale and toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing and, using your hands, toss the salad, gently massing the dressing into the Brussel sprouts and kale until everything is well coated.
Add chopped almonds, cranberries, and cheese and toss again to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and black pepper as needed.
This salad can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
