Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts Salad Ingredients:

8 ounces Brussels sprouts shredded (with ends trimmed)
3 ounces (about 3 cups) baby arugula * roughly chopped
2 crisp apples cored and diced
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans toasted
1 small red onion peeled and thinly sliced
5 ounces crumbled blue or goat cheese

Dressing Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small garlic clove pressed or minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice (or vinegar*)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper

Instructions

Make the dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl (or shake all ingredients together vigorously in a sealed jar) until completely combined.
Toss the salad. Combine all of the salad ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, drizzle evenly with the dressing, and toss until combined.
Serve. Serve immediately, garnished with an extra twist of black pepper if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Dressing options: This salad dressing would also taste delicious made with balsamic or red wine vinegar, if you prefer to use more of a vinaigrette.
