Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

1 pound shaved Brussels sprouts*
1 large apple, chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup sweetened, dried cranberries
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped toasted cashews
2 cooked pan seared chicken breast, sliced or chopped*

For the dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, drizzle the shaved Brussels sprouts with olive oil and add a pinch of salt. Use clean hands to massage the Brussels sprouts until they have softened.
Add the remaining salad ingredients (except the chicken) to the bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the dressing together. Add to the salad bowl and toss the salad until evenly coated.
Top with seared chicken before serving.

Notes

*Brussels sprouts: It generally takes about 1 1/2 pounds of untrimmed Brussels sprouts to yield 1 pound of Brussels sprouts shaved.

*To cook the chicken: Pound chicken to an even thickness (about 1-inch) and season liberally with salt & pepper. Heat a large skillet to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is heated, cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
