Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts (shaved or thinly sliced)
  • 1 red apple (cored and thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup cranberries
  • 1/4 cup red onion (diced)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 large lemons (juiced, approximately 1/3 cup juice)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1-2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to vigorously blend and emulsify the dressing until it is smooth and well combined.
  2. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shaved Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced red apple, sliced almonds, cranberries, diced red onion, and crumbled goat cheese.
  3. Toss the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately for the freshest flavors.

Notes

  • This salad is quick and easy to prepare, coming together in just about 15 minutes.
  • Shaving the Brussels sprouts makes them tender and easier to eat raw.
  • You can substitute goat cheese with feta or another soft cheese if preferred.
  • Use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to honey.
  • This salad is great as a light lunch or a colorful side dish to grilled chicken or fish.
