Raw Kale And Brussels Sprout Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 bunch lacinato kale, stems removed
1/2 lemon, juice of
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
salt and pepper
3 cups thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup shredded manchego cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 cups pecans, toasted

Preparation

Add the kale and the lemon juice into a large bowl and massage the juice into the leaves for 2 to 3 minutes. Let the kale marinate for 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the salad dressing: add the olive oil, mustard, and vinegar to a mason jar or other lidded jar and shake like crazy until the dressing emulsifies. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Roughly chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the bowl. Add the Brussels Sprouts, cheese, and pecans to the kale. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss, and serve.
