Ingredients

Sweet Orange Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 30mL
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice 45mL
  • ½ tablespoon orange zest optional, 3g
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt 3g
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 1g
  • 2 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 37mL
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 5mL
  • 1 tablespoon raw cane sugar or coconut sugar 12-15g

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

  • 16 oz brussels sprouts, shaved 453.5g (about 6-7 cups)
  • 1 Gala apple cored and chopped
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa 185g
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries 40g
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts toasted if preferred, 35g
  • salt & pepper to taste don't skip this!!

Instructions

Sweet Orange Vinaigrette

  • Add all the ingredients to a mason jar or any jar fitted with a top. Shake vigorously until combined thoroughly. Set aside until ready to use. Feel free to double the dressing if desired.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

  • To prepare the Brussels sprouts, wash thoroughly and dry. Remove the shrivelled outer leaves (if any) and cut the tough ends off of the Brussels sprouts. Using a mandoline, or a food processor fitted with a shredded top, shred the Brussels sprouts. Use a mandoline glove to protect your hands!
  • Pour half the salad dressing onto the Brussels sprouts and mix to combine. Let it sit on the salad while you prepare the other ingredients (about 5 minutes, or 8 minutes if toasting the walnuts).
  • Add all the other ingredients to the salad. Season with salt and Pepper (this really pulls out the flavours) and add the rest of the vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
  • You can eat it immediately, but I highly recommend waiting at least 30 minutes while the salad marinates in the fridge. It tastes even better after a day in the fridge! Enjoy!

Notes

Store this shaved Brussels sprouts salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Toss it again before serving.
