Ingredients
  • Salad
  • 16 ounces Brussels sprouts
  • 8 ounces cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 crisp, tart apples, diced (such as Macoun, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
  • 3 ounces dried cranberries
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced then diced
  • 2 ounces pecans, toasted and broken into pieces
  • 2 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
  • Zest from half an orange (optional)
  • Dressing
  • Juice from 1 grapefruit
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 ounces extra virgin olive oil
Directions
  1. Salad
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the ends and remove any damaged leaves. If you have a food processor, set it up with the slicer blade and enjoy the pure joy of dropping the sprouts down the shoot. If you don't have a food processor, thinly slice the sprouts (a sharp knife or mandolin works well). Once the Brussels sprouts are all sliced, give them a good bath in a salad spinner or large bowl to get all the trapped grit out. Spin or drain and pat them dry.
  3. Combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Top with dressing and toss to coat.
  1. Dressing
  2. Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. Taste and adjust as necessary.
