Brussel Sprout Salad IMG_4443

What you’ll need:

2 C Brussel sprouts cleaned and trimmed (I used purple)

(To save time you could substitute 1/2 head purple cababage)

1/2 small red onion sliced thinly

1 pomegranate (seeded)

1/4 C parmesan cheese (optional)

1/2 lemon (juice)

1 tsp honey

1 tsp stone ground mustard

2 tsp olive oil

Sprinke of sea salt

What you’ll do:

Slice the red onion and soak in cold water while you are preparing the brussel sprouts (soaking the onion helps to mellow the flavor a bit)

Seed the pomegranate

In a small bowl combine the lemon, honey, mustard, salt and oil.  Set aside

Clean and trim the brussel sprouts

Using a madoline shave the brussel sprouts, as this can take a bit of time with brussel sprouts you can alternativley use purple cabbage to save some time

Combine brussel sprouts, onion, pomegranate and cheese in a large bowl

Add the dressing and mix thouroughly

Enjoy!!
