Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad

Even if you think you don’t like kale or Brussels sprouts, or both, I promise the salad is delicious and it holds up even dressed for days afterwards. A great crowd-pleaser for large gatherings.

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Salad:

  • 2 large bunches of Tuscan kale (about 1 1/2 lb. total), center stem discarded, leaves thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces brussels sprouts, trimmed, finely grated or shredded with a knife
  • 1 cup finely grated Pecorino
  • 1/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  • Mix kale and shredded brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
  • Combine lemon juice, mustard, shallot, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mason jar.  Shake vigorously until well combined. For a smoother dressing, use a hand blender to emulsify.
  • Dress salad and toss. Add Pecorino and pomegranate seeds and toss again.
