Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 bunch Curly kale ((~3.5 ounces or ~5.5 cups, stems removed))
1/2 lb Brussels sprouts ((~2.5 cups, outer leaves and stems removed))
1/2 cup Sugar-free dried cranberries
6 slices Cooked bacon ((chopped or crumbled))
1/2 cup Walnuts ((or pumpkin seeds for nut-free))
1/4 cup Blue cheese crumbles ((optional - skip for paleo or whole30))
1/3 cup Olive oil
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the brussels sprouts into a food processor fitted with a slicing blade (NOT a shredding or knife blade!). Push the sprouts into the food processor while running, using the pusher (not your hands). Turn it off.
  • Turn the food processor back on and push the kale leaves into the running food processor. Pulse until shredded. (Alternatively, you can chop the brussels sprouts and kale by hand with a knife.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper, until emulsified. (Tilt the bowl if necessary).
  • Add the shredded brussels sprouts and kale to the bowl. Add the cranberries, cooked bacon, walnuts (if using), and blue cheese (if using). Toss to coat the kale brussels sprout salad in dressing.
