Instructions
- Slice of the woody end of each brussels sprout. Thinly slice the sprouts with a sharp knife. Alternatively, place the sprouts in a food processor and use the chop feature.Add the brussels sprouts to a large bowl.
- Use a vegetable peeler to thinly shave the carrots. (This technique is easiest with thicker carrots.)Alternatively, use a knife to thinly slice the carrots. (This option is slightly less pretty, but will taste just as delicious.)Add the carrots and sunflower seeds to the bowl with the brussels sprouts.
- Add the mandarin orange segments to the bowl and toss to combine.
- Add all tahini dressing ingredients to a small glass jar with a lid. Shake until combined.Add the dressing to the salad and toss again to combine.Serve immediately.
Notes
- Yields approximately 4 large salads or 8 smaller side salads.
- Recipe amounts are variable. Use more or less of each ingredient as desired.
- Add more protein: Use this salad as a base and add meat. I like to add tuna, chicken or turkey.
- Make Ahead:
- Camping Recipe Adaption:
- This salad stores well and is perfect for packed meals. Store without the dressing. If storing longer than 1 day, don't add the fresh fruit until you're ready to serve.
- If swapping dried fruit for fresh, you can add it before storing.
- The dressing can also be made ahead of time and stored separately in the fridge.
- Use within 3-4 days.
- Make the salad ahead of time, storing the fresh fruit and dressing separately.
- Store the salad in a cooler to keep it fresh.
- All of the tahini dressing ingredients are shelf stable before combining, but it's best to store the dressing in a cooler once combined. (Or pack the dressing ingredients separately and make the dressing at the campsite.)
