{NEW} Shaved Brussels Sprouts + Quinoa Salad ??
{ With SPRING right around the corner, fresh salads will be making their appearance around here, much, more often.
It’s time to wake up from our bundled-up winter hibernation, and re-energize our bodies with lots of FRESH foods!
This fresh lemon juice and lightly-salty-tangy combination tossed with the kale and Brussels REALLY makes the salad SUPER tasty, while also being packed-full of goodness!
This salad lasts for 2-3 days in the fridge, so it’s perfect for meal prep, or a Sunday potluck alike! }
makes about 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
4 cups shaved or thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
3-4 cups shredded fresh kale, stems removed
1/3 cup thin sliced almonds
1/3 cup dried cranberries
2 cups cooked quinoa
Dressing:
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp raw honey
1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1-2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to your taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each)
Instructions:
In a quarter pint mason jar add all dressing ingredients. Place the lid on and shake vigorously to combine, OR simply whisk dressing ingredients together in a small glass bowl.
In a large bowl add your Brussels sprouts, kale, cranberries, almonds, and quinoa. Drizzle in the dressing and toss gently to combine well.
Enjoy! ❤Rachel
