Steps:
- Wash both Brussels sprouts and kale. Trim the brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise then slice the sprouts to give you fine ribbons.
- For the kale, discard stems and finely chop kale. Add both the sprouts and kale to a large bowl, then make the vinaigrette.
- To make the vinaigrette: combine olive oil, garlic, vinegar, dijon mustard, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a medium bowl, whisking to combine.
- Add to salad mixture and massage the vinaigrette into the kale for two minutes. This will help to make the kale less bitter and soak in the flavors.
- Add in cranberries, tossing again to combine. Cover salad and place salad in refrigerator at least an hour and up to overnight. This helps the flavors soak in and breaks down the kale. I find that the salad is always better the next day!
- While salad is marinating or before serving, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add sliced or chopped almonds to a baking sheet and place in oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden and toasted, flipping almonds once halfway through.
- Once ready to serve, add toasted almonds and parmesan to salad; toss to combine then serve in salad bowls. Garnish with more parm or almonds if desired. Serves 6.

KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD RECIPE WITH BACON, CRANBERRIES AND PECANS
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.
