Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Apples and Dates
Ingredients
Salad
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts thinly sliced
- 2 cups Kale finely chopped, stems removed
- 1 cup Apple chopped
- 4 Medjool dates pitted, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Roasted hazlenuts chopped
Dressing
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Shallot finely chopped
Instructions
- Optional: If using raw hazelnuts, roast whole hazelnuts on a bare baking sheet at 350 F (176 C) for 12-15 minutes or until fragrant.
- Prepare dressing by adding olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and shallot to a small jar with a lid and shaking to combine. Or, add to a bowl and whisk. Set aside.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts, halve them lengthwise, and slice very thinly with a knife or the slicing disc on a food processor.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and kale to a large mixing / serving bowl, shake or whisk the dressing again, and add about half of it. Then massage with clean hands for 1-2 minutes to infuse the Brussels sprouts and kale with the dressing and make them easier to chew and digest.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients (apples, dates, and roasted hazelnuts) and the remaining dressing. Toss to coat, breaking any clumps of dates up into small pieces. Enjoy!
