Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts - thinly sliced
  • 4 cups Tuscan kale - stems removed and finely chopped
  • 1 cup carrot - shredded and chopped
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 large avocado - peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 cup candied walnuts or pecans - chopped

FOR THE DRESSING

Instructions

  • Prepare the vinaigrette. Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a small jar and shake well to combine. Season to taste (I like my vinaigrette to be somewhat strong in vinegar flavor. If you prefer a sweeter vinaigrette, you may wish to add additional maple syrup).
  • Combine salad ingredients. In a large bowl, toss together the shredded Brussels sprouts, chopped kale, carrots, and pomegranate arils. Just before serving, add the avocado and candied pecans or walnuts.
  • Toss and serve. Drizzle salad with prepared vinaigrette and gently toss to combine. Best served immediately.

Notes

  • Storage and Leftovers: As soon as the avocado is added, this salad is best enjoyed immediately. Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigertor for up to 2 days.
