Ingredients
- 6 cups Kale (curly or Tuscan)
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 0.33 cup Sliced almonds (toasted)
- 0.33 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and chop the kale leaves into thin ribbons.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife or a food processor with a slicing attachment, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts to create shreds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and shredded Brussels sprouts.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the kale and Brussels sprouts mixture. Massage the dressing into the kale leaves with your hands for 2–3 minutes to tenderize the kale.
Step 6
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toasted sliced almonds to the salad. Toss until well combined.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Step 8
Refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or a light meal.
