Kale Brussel Sprout Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Pour pepitas into a bowl and coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over pepitas and toss to coat.
• Cook and stir coated pepitas in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and allow pepitas to cool.
• Combine Brussels sprouts, curly kale, lacinato kale, napa cabbage, dried cranberries, mandarin oranges, green onions, strawberries, and toasted pepitas in a large bowl.
• Mix poppy seed dressing and orange juice together in a bowl; pour over Brussels sprouts mixture and toss well.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients. Add dressing; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the Brussels sprouts very thin. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and some salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast, shaking the baking sheet a couple of times while cooking, until the sprouts are browned in spots and tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the grated Parmesan and set aside.
• Toss the kale with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until the leaves are tender, crisp on the edges and lightly browned, about 10 minutes, then stir with the Brussels sprouts. Garnish with the lemon zest, big shavings of Parmesan and toasted pecans before serving.

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, shred the Brussels sprouts. Next, shred the kale. Add the garlic and shallot and shred. (Alternatively, shred and mince the vegetables with a knife.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pecorino, olive oil, pine nuts, mustard, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add in the shredded vegetables and toss well to combine. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to permeate the greens.

Steps:

• Set up your grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• To a food processor, add the torn bread and pulse until you have some very fine and some larger breadcrumbs. Transfer to a cast-iron pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and bake until golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To a blender, add the avocado, garlic, buttermilk, sour cream and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then blend until smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl and mix in the dill and scallions. To a large mixing bowl, add the kale. Massage the kale until it darkens and softens. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Dress with as much dressing as you'd like. Top with the croutons and cheese. Serve! Any remaining dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
