Festive salad
I served this salad yesterday with our Christmas dinner and it was a hit with the family. So much so that I plan to make it again for New Years. This salad is so fresh and light which makes it a welcome addition to a holiday table full of otherwise rich food.
But this salad isn't just for the holidays. It's perfect for any time as an entree salad for lunch or a side salad on the dinner table. After all of the holiday indulgences, Brussels Sprouts and Kale salad is a lighter and healthier option to start the New Year.
Making the salad
Shaved Brussels sprouts are really delicious in this salad. Using a food processor with a slicing disk attachment or a mandolin, thinly shave the Brussels sprouts and the red onion. With a knife, thinly julienne the kale.
Then, drizzle with a vinaigrette of oil, cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Slightly sweet, this dressing pairs nicely with sprouts and kale. Dried cranberries provide a contrast of color and texture and shavings of parmesan provide a salty bite. This flavor combination is a winner.
