- ½ cup sliced almonds note 1
- 1 lb brussels sprouts shredded; roughly 8 cups; see note 2
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- 2 pomegranates de-seeded
Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon dijon
- salt & pepper
Shred Brussels Sprouts- Wash brussels sprouts, and trim the bottom ¼ inch of the sprout off. Fit a 7 cup or larger food processor with the shredding blade. Process on high, feeding the sprouts through the chute to shred them into thin strips.
Mix Dressing - Shake together the vinaigrette ingredients, including white wine vinegar, maple syrup, dijon, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a jar or salad dressing shaker.
Combine - Toss together all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
Add dressing - Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve, and enjoy!
- for added flavor, take the time to toast your almonds in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown.
- trim the bottom ¼ inch off the sprouts and discard any browned leaves. Swap with cabbage or kale.

Storage
Prep ahead - store prepped salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store dressing and almonds separate.
Leftovers - store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Note: the almonds may become soggy if stored with dressing, but the brussels sprouts should hold up ok as they are hearty, like kale or cabbage.
