Ingredients
- FOR THE SALAD:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted, and chopped, large
- 1 orange peeled and chopped, large
- 1 cup pomegranate arils POM POMS Fresh brand
- For the Citrus Dressing:
- orange juice of 3 large
- orange zest of 1 large
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- 1. Rinse brussels sprouts and remove any damaged or dirty outer leaves. Place on a cutting board and slice off the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the brussels sprouts. When you're done, use your fingers to gently separate the leaves so that the shredded sprouts resemble a very fine slaw. Place in a large bowl and add the avocado, orange, and POM POMS.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, zest, olive oil, and honey. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle the citrus dressing over the salad and lightly toss. Serve immediately.
- Note-you can use agave instead of the honey to make a vegan salad.
