APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Apple Salad With Walnuts and Brussels Sprouts image

Waldorf salad is definitely in the DNA of this starter from the Publican restaurant in Chicago. Apples and walnuts provide the base, and raw brussels sprouts and kohlrabi take the place of the celery. The dressing, a honeyed vinaigrette made with walnut oil, is lighter than mayonnaise, although the ricotta contributes creaminess. The cured ham on top elevates this to a sophisticated first course, but eliminate it to make the salad vegetarian. Best of all, the salad can be prepared in advance and holds up nicely on a buffet.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS & APPLE SALAD



Brussels Sprouts & Apple Salad image

I made this recipe from the Healthy Heart Cookbook. This is really good and with just a few calories. Brussels sprouts are in prime form when the heads are hard and the leaves tighly bunched. If you can't find them fresh, thawed frozen sprouts work well in this tangy, crunchy salad.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 apple, halved, cored, and thinly sliced (I used a granny smith apple)
1/2 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed and quartered
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • Put the walnuts in a small, dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a plate to cool and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and stir into the yogurt mixture. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the brussels sprouts and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Add the brussels sprouts to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and apples and toss gently to coat.

Categories     HarperCollins     Salad     Brussels Sprout     Citrus     Apple     Sesame     Almond     Parsley     Winter     Fall     Thanksgiving     Christmas     Christmas Eve

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

175g (6 ounces) Brussels sprouts
2 clementines or other small citrus
A russet apple
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
A handful skinned almonds
A large handful flat-leaf parsley leaves
For the dressing:
A clementine
A lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Put a large pan of water on to boil. Trim the sprouts, then remove the outer leaves and put them into a bowl of cold water. Slice what is left of the sprouts into quarters and add to the leaves. Rinse thoroughly, then drain. Lightly salt the boiling water, then lower in the sprouts. Leave them to cook for a maximum of two minutes, until their colors are bright.
  • Have ready a bowl of water with ice cubes in it. Failing that, a basin of very cold water. Drain the sprouts and put them into the iced water. This will stop them cooking.
  • Remove the peel from the clementines. Slice the fruit in half, then into thin slices, and place in the salad bowl. Halve the apple, then cut each half into thin segments, removing any seeds as you go. Toss the apples with the clementines.
  • In a dry pan, toast the sesame seeds to a rich golden brown, then tip half of them into a small bowl and the remainder into the clementines and sprouts. Return the pan to the heat, and add the oil and then the almonds. Leave them to cook, moving them around the pan every few minutes, until they are golden and fragrant. Salt lightly, then remove and place on kitchen paper.
  • Drain and lightly dry the sprouts and their leaves, then toss them gently with the apples and clementines. Squeeze the clementine and lemon and stir their juice into the reserved sesame seeds. With a fork or a small whisk, beat in the olive oil, white wine vinegar and honey. Season with salt and black pepper, then use to dress the salad.

Apple Brussels sprouts salad recipes are a healthy and delicious way to incorporate seasonal produce into your diet. Whether you are looking for a salad to serve as a side dish or a main course, incorporating apples and Brussels sprouts into your salad allows you to add a variety of flavors, textures, and nutrients into your meal.

Tip 1: Pick the Right Apples

The type of apple you choose for your Brussels sprouts salad is important in determining the overall flavor profile of your salad. Sweeter apples like Honeycrisp or Gala can balance the bitterness of Brussels sprouts while also adding a crispy texture. Tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn can add a pleasant contrast to the earthy flavor of Brussels sprouts.

Tip 2: Shred Your Brussels Sprouts

Shredding your Brussels sprouts is a great way to incorporate them into your salad. A food processor with a shredding disk can make quick work of Brussels sprouts. Shredding Brussels sprouts makes them more tender and also allows them to soak up the dressing better.

Tip 3: Add Something Crunchy

Adding a crunchy ingredient like nuts or seeds can add texture and flavor to your salad. Pine nuts, walnuts, or almonds add a nutty flavor that pairs well with the earthy taste of the Brussels sprouts. Alternatively, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds can add a satisfying crunch to your salad.

Tip 4: Choose an Acidic Dressing

Choosing an acidic dressing can balance the bitter flavor of the Brussels sprouts while also enhancing the sweetness of the apples. A dressing made with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice can add a refreshing tang to your salad. A mustard-based dressing can also add a zing to your salad without overpowering the other flavors.

Tip 5: Add a Protein

If you are looking to make your salad a complete meal, adding a protein is a great way to do so. Grilled chicken or tofu can be a great option for a meatless protein. Alternatively, adding bacon or prosciutto can add a salty and savory flavor to your salad.

Tip 6: Incorporate Other Vegetables and Fruits

Incorporating other vegetables and fruits into your salad can add additional nutrients and flavors. Carrots or red cabbage can add a pop of color to your salad, while pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries can add a tart sweetness.

Tip 7: Let the Salad Sit Before Serving

Brussels sprouts are a dense vegetable and can benefit from a little time to marinate in the dressing before being served. Allowing the salad to sit in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving can help the flavors meld and also soften the Brussels sprouts.

Tip 8: Use a Variety of Textures

Using a variety of textures in your salad can make it more interesting to eat. Adding a soft ingredient like goat cheese or avocado can add a rich creaminess to your salad. Using ingredients with different textures can also make the salad more filling and satisfying.

Tip 9: Don't Overdress Your Salad

When it comes to dressing your salad, less is often more. Overdressing your salad can make it soggy and overpower the other flavors. Adding dressing a little at a time and tossing the salad in between can help ensure that the dressing is distributed evenly.

Tip 10: Experiment with Flavors

Don't be afraid to get creative with your salad flavors. Brussels sprouts and apples are versatile ingredients that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Incorporating herbs like parsley or basil can add a fresh flavor to your salad. Drizzling honey or maple syrup over your salad can add a sweet complexity.

Conclusion

Apple Brussels sprouts salad recipes are a delicious and healthy way to incorporate seasonal produce into your diet. By following these valuable tips, you can create a salad that is full of flavor, texture, and nutrients. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a main course, a Brussels sprouts salad with apples is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
