How to Shred Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts are easy to shred.
- You don’t need to remove the core.
- Rinse: Start off by giving a good rinse and remove any discolored leaves.
- Shred: You could use a sharp knife thinly vertically and slice Brussel sprouts, or use a mandoline slicer.
- Wash: After slicing place in a large bowl and wash with cold water, then rinse well.
Ingredients You Will Need for the Salad
Chicken: Chicken breast. Make sure to marinade the chicken in oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and lemon zest for extra flavors.
Brussel sprouts: Check above to see how to rinse and shred.
Fruit: Apples (any variety), pomegranate add a tart and sweet crunch.
Nuts: Speaking of crunch, add in walnuts for a nutty flavor (love nuts in a salad)
Cheese please. Optional but recommended .
Is Vinaigrette hard to Make?
In two words, very simple. Use a light olive oil when making vinaigrette. For a Dijon Honey dressing, all you got to do is add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey and olive oil with salt and pepper in a small bowl and give it a good whisk. That’s it! No difficult pronouncing ingredients involved.
