Ingredients
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp hemp hearts optional
Creamy Balsamic Dressing
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp unsweetened sunflower seed butter or almond butter or tahini
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
Instructions
- Inspect your brussels sprouts for brown spots. Cut them away if you notice them.
- Add brussels to the food processor and process on high for 15-20 seconds until they are shredded down.
- Pour brussels sprouts into a bowl. Use your hands, make sure there aren't any huge brussels sprouts left. If there are, remove them from the bowl and slice them with a knife
- Preheat a skillet (I use cast iron) over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray (I use coconut oil) and pour about 1/2 of the brussels sprouts in the skillet.
- Add a pinch of salt (1/8 tsp) and stir the brussels around, cooking them down just a bit.
- Once they are done cooking (about 3 minutes or so), add them to the raw brussels sprouts. Stir and let them sit while you make the dressing.
- Make the Creamy Balsamic Dressing by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and stirring until fully incorporated.
- Pour the dressing over the shaved brussels sprouts salad and stir well.
- Top with optional hemp hearts or your favorite chopped nuts
