shaved-brussels-sprout-salad-4 This salad is such an excellent way to bring fresh, raw veggies to the dinner table. It tastes fresh and healthy, but still hearty and filling. It’s perfect as a side salad for any dinner or a refreshing lunch time meal. Ingredients: For the Salad:
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 1 medium tart apple (like Granny Smith)
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  For the Vinaigrette:
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  Instructions:
  • Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts. Using a sharp knife OR using the thinest blade on a slicer slice each sprout thinly. Slice the apple and red onion in the same manner. Combine in a large bowl. Toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about two minutes. Add to the Brussels sprout mixture. Toss to combine. Combine the vinaigrette ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Close the lid and shake until well-combined. Pour over the Brussels sprout mixture, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
