Chicken & Brussels Sprouts Salad
Ingredients
Ingredients:
1/2 pound of brussels sprouts (2-ish cups once sliced)
1/2 Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup quartered green grapes
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 white onion, finely diced
2 chicken breasts, chopped
Vinaigrette:
2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
1 TBSP quality brown mustard
1 TBSP avocado oil
1 TBSP honey
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
few grinds of black pepper
Preparation
1
Cut the brussels sprouts in half, core and thinly slice.
2
Do the same with the Granny Smith apple, slicing into matchsticks. The peel doesn’t bother me, so I keep it on. Grab a handful of grapes and quarter them, you should end up with about a half cup.
3
Chop the half cup of almonds.
4
Finely dice the white onion. Scallions would work too if you prefer a more mild onion flavor… though the white did not overpower.
5
Combine in a large bowl before adding the chicken.
6
I used a rotisserie chicken when I wrote this recipe and would recommend it, however, roasting your own works just as well. Chop cooled chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.
7
Whipping up the vinaigrette takes seconds. Add all ingredients, except the avocado oil, to a small bowl and whisk. Stream in the avocado oil last, whisking until smooth.
8
Pour over the salad and toss to bring together.
