Ingredients

Servings

for the salad:

  • 8 oz. curly kale stems removed and finely chopped (about 6 cups)
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • tsp. black pepper ground
  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts finely shredded or very thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
  • c. Parmesan Cheese about 2.5 ounces, shaved or shredded
  • ½ c. dried cranberries
  • c. sunflower seeds dry-roasted

for the Zippy Lemon Yogurt Dressing (yield: about 3/4 cup):

  • ½ c. Greek yogurt nonfat plain
  • lemons about 2 teaspoons, zest of 2 medium
  • ¼ c. lemon juice from about 1 of the medium lemons above, freshly squeezed
  • 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 1 garlic very finely minced or grated, large clove
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper ground

Instructions

  1. For the salad: Place chopped kale in a large serving bowl. Top with salt and pepper. Massage kale by grabbing large handfuls and squeezing gently until the kale is darker in color, softened, and more fragrant. Repeat several times, grabbing fresh handfuls of kale as you go. This will make the kale more tender and less bitter - don't skip this step!
  2. Add shaved Brussels sprouts to bowl, fluffing the strands with your fingers to separate the shreds. Toss to combine Brussels sprouts with the kale.
  3. For the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 1 week.
  4. To assemble the salad: Drizzle two-thirds of the dressing over the top and toss to combine.
  5. Sprinkle salad with Parmesan, cranberries, and sunflower seeds over the top. Toss lightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and add as much extra dressing as you like. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
