Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and sliced in half
- 1 medium apple, cored and diced (I used Pink Lady, but use whatever you like)
- 1/3 cup fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup raw pecans, dry toasted and roughly chopped (see instructions for dry toasting)
For the honey mustard dressing
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp raw honey
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Dry toast the pecans in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5-6 minutes or until pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted. Set aside to cool a bit. Then, roughly chop, once cool enough to handle.
- Place the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts in the food processor container. Cover and pulse a few times or so, until Brussels sprouts are shredded (some larger stray pieces are okay). Be careful not to over-process.
- Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and mix in the apple slices and fresh parsley.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust to your liking, if needed.
- Pour dressing over Brussels sprout mixture and stir to coat. Let sit in fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to marinate. Just before serving, stir in toasted pecans.
