Those people who swear that they don't like Brussels Sprouts may just find out that they do with this salad. It is full of healthy ingredients and packed with flavor.
Salad:
1 lb. Brussels sprouts
1 medium tart apple, like Granny Smith
1 medium red onion
1 c. chopped walnuts
freshly squeezed lime juice
Vinaigrette:
1 T. Dijon mustard
2 t. maple syrup
3 T. red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, finely minced
½ c. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Wash Brussels sprouts, drain and dry with paper towels. Trim off the ends of the Brussels sprouts.
Using a sharp knife, a food processor with the slicing attachment or using the thinest blade on a mandolin slicer (and a no cut glove), slice each sprout thinly. Slice the apple and red onion in the same manner. (Don't use the food processor for the apples.) Combine in a large bowl.
Soak the red onion slices in the freshly squeezed lime juice to make them less pungent. Drain.
Toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes; add to the Brussels sprouts mixture; toss to combine.
Combine vinaigrette ingredients into a jar with a tight-fighting lid; close the lid; shake until well-combined.
Pour vinaigrette over the Brussels sprouts mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
