For starters, there’s no need to clear the kitchen while Brussels sprouts, one of the fragrant members of the Brassica plant genus, boil away. Raw, thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, apples, pecans and pomegranate seeds form the heart of this salad. And what a sweet, crunchy, nutty, tart, absolutely delicious heart it is — one that just happens to be loaded with fiber, nourishing fats and nutrients (including the cancer-fighting compounds that the Brassica family is famous for).
A simple honey-lemon dressing and some fresh parsley top off this gorgeous dish. Add this to your regular menu rotation for smiles all around.
1/4 cup pecans
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 Brussels sprouts, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
