Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad!
Okay, Folks, it's confession time again! This is a salad that was born out of the need to try out my new toy! I have always wanted a food processor, and I finally bought the attachment for my beautiful blender!
I have seen many different versions of brussels sprout salads, and decided to come up with my own light and fresh shaved version to go with our... ehem... steak dinner! The key to eating lighter, is to have a small indulgence, like sharing a gorgeously grilled steak with my boys, and having a healthy light salad on the side, right?
Start out with shaving the brussels sprouts, I used a pound. If you don't have a handy dandy food processor, you can chop away with a knife, or use a mandolin, just watch those fingers! Also shave one red bell pepper, and toss everything into a large bowl.
Oh man, that's so pretty! I may be a little overly excited...
Now, the dressing!
3 chopped green onions
zest of one clementine
juice of 2 clementines
2 Tablespoons drained capers
1 teaspoon of oregano, rubbed between your hands
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons good Extra virgin olive oil
At least 2 teaspoons salt, and fresh black pepper
Whisk away to emulsify.
Drizzle dressing over the whole salad, and mix well. Taste for salt, and pepper.
This salad is also great for parties, because it is better a few hours after making it! Hope you enjoy!!
