Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples
Description
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples combines shredded Brussels sprouts and thinly sliced apples with mixed greens for a fresh, crunchy base. Maple-roasted walnuts add a sweet, spiced crunch, complementing the salad's components with cinnamon and a touch of salt. The dressing uses olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper, creating a tangy yet sweet coating for the salad.
The salad texture varies between crispness from greens, sprouts, and apples, with added nutty crunch from walnuts. The maple syrup in both walnuts and dressing brings mild sweetness, balanced by acidity from lemon and vinegar. The preparation involves roasting walnuts separately, shaving Brussels sprouts to thinness for tenderness, and combining all parts just before serving.
This salad can be prepped ahead by shaving Brussels sprouts and storing them refrigerated in airtight containers, roasting walnuts and cooling before storage, and making the dressing in advance. Assemble shortly before serving to keep ingredients fresh and textures vibrant.
