Kale Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe Epicuriouscom Food

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the Brussels sprouts very thin. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and some salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast, shaking the baking sheet a couple of times while cooking, until the sprouts are browned in spots and tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the grated Parmesan and set aside.
• Toss the kale with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until the leaves are tender, crisp on the edges and lightly browned, about 10 minutes, then stir with the Brussels sprouts. Garnish with the lemon zest, big shavings of Parmesan and toasted pecans before serving.

KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, shred the Brussels sprouts. Next, shred the kale. Add the garlic and shallot and shred. (Alternatively, shred and mince the vegetables with a knife.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pecorino, olive oil, pine nuts, mustard, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add in the shredded vegetables and toss well to combine. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to permeate the greens.

KALE SALAD WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, APPLES, AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast 8-10 minutes, tossing once or twice, until fragrant and skins have blistered. Bundle nuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. Spread out and let cool, then coarsely chop. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, mustard, shallot, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl, then whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Set aside.
• Mix together kale and Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Add about 3/4 of the dressing, and use your hands to massage dressing into greens. Taste and add more dressing as needed (you may not need all of it). Reserve any leftover dressing for another use.
• Add cheese, apple, and half of the radishes; toss together to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and top with nuts and remaining radishes.
• Do ahead
• Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Nuts can be toasted and chopped 1 day ahead; cover and keep at room temperature.

RAW KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD

Steps:

• Add the kale and the lemon juice into a large bowl and massage the juice into the leaves for 2 to 3 minutes. Let the kale marinate for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the salad dressing: add the olive oil, mustard, and vinegar to a mason jar or other lidded jar and shake like crazy until the dressing emulsifies. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Roughly chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the bowl. Add the Brussels Sprouts, cheese, and pecans to the kale. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss, and serve.
