Ingredients

For the salad
  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed
  • 1 large honey crisp apple, diced small
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans
  • 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, large shreds
  • 3 oz. prosciutto
For the dressing
  • 6 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
  • 1 Tbsp. shallot, finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp. champagne vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper, or to taste
  • pinch chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the prosciutto: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the prosciutto in an even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Let them cool then break into pieces. Set aside.
  2. Make the dressing: add all ingredients to a jar and shake until emulsified or whisk vigorously in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Shave the Brussels: trim the stem off, remove any loose leaves and then use the slicing blade attachment on the food processor, a mandolin or just a sharp knife to get them nice and thin. My preferred method is the food processor. With the slicing blade on, add the Brussels sprouts into the feed tube and push it down and through using the feed tube plunger/pusher. (see video for guidance)
  4. Build the salad: Place the Brussels in a large bowl and add the chopped apple, red onion, dried cranberries, pecans, Parmesan cheese and prosciutto.
  5. Just before serving, add the dressing on top and toss to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you plan to have leftovers, store the salad in the fridge with dressing onside for up to 3 days.
