Ingredients
Apple & Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, stems removed
- 2 medium red apples, diced (300 grams)
- 1/2 cup almonds, cut in half/sliced
- optional toppings: sesame seeds
Creamy Balsamic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons water (depending on consistency desired)
Instructions
- Toast the almonds. In a nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat, add almonds and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Make sure to stir so they do not burn. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Make the dressing. Add all ingredients to a small bowl or jar and mix until combined. Add more water if you would like a thinner consistency. Set aside.
- Shred the brussels sprouts. Run through your food processor with the larger shredding attachment. Add to a large bowl with the apples and almonds. Mix in dressing and stir to combine. Top with sesame seeds if using and enjoy!
Notes
Store in a tightly sealed glass bowl in the fridge for up to 5 days.
