Ingredients
DRESSING
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped shallot
SALAD
- 4 cups thinly sliced Brussels sprouts (3/4 lb Brussels sprouts yield ~4 cups)
- 2 cups finely chopped kale, stems removed (purple kale is pretty! // or sub more Brussels sprouts)
- 1 cup chopped apple (Pink Lady or other crunchy, sweet-tart apples are best // 1 medium apple yields ~1 cup)
- 4 pitted medjool dates, finely chopped (4 medjool dates yield ~1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts (see instructions if using raw)
Instructions
- Optional: If using raw hazelnuts, roast whole hazelnuts on a bare baking sheet at 350 F (176 C) for 12-15 minutes or until fragrant.
- Prepare dressing by adding olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and shallot to a small jar with a lid and shaking to combine. Or, add to a bowl and whisk. Set aside.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts, halve them lengthwise, and slice very thinly with a knife or the slicing disc on a food processor.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and kale to a large mixing / serving bowl, shake or whisk the dressing again, and add about half of it. Then massage with clean hands for 1-2 minutes to infuse the Brussels sprouts and kale with the dressing and make them easier to chew and digest.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients (apples, dates, and roasted hazelnuts) and the remaining dressing. Toss to coat, breaking any clumps of dates up into small pieces. Enjoy!
- Best when fresh. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 24 hours, but the apple will start browning and the veggies may get a little soggy. Not freezer friendly.

Notes
- *Recipe as written makes ~6 cups salad. *Cook time does not include the optional step of roasting hazelnuts. Freshly roasted nuts will provide the best flavor, but store-bought work too! *Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
