APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Apple Salad With Walnuts and Brussels Sprouts image

Waldorf salad is definitely in the DNA of this starter from the Publican restaurant in Chicago. Apples and walnuts provide the base, and raw brussels sprouts and kohlrabi take the place of the celery. The dressing, a honeyed vinaigrette made with walnut oil, is lighter than mayonnaise, although the ricotta contributes creaminess. The cured ham on top elevates this to a sophisticated first course, but eliminate it to make the salad vegetarian. Best of all, the salad can be prepared in advance and holds up nicely on a buffet.

1/2 medium-size kohlrabi bulb, peeled, in 1/4-inch dice
12 brussels sprouts, bases trimmed, sliced thin vertically

1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and ground black pepper
6 ounces fresh ricotta
6 slices serrano ham (about 3 ounces), optional

Steps:

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH APPLES AND WALNUTS



Brussels Sprouts Salad With Apples and Walnuts image

Raw brussels sprouts can stand up to the boldest and most assertive of flavors. Pair the shredded sprouts with a garlicky lemon dressing, plenty of aged Parmesan and crushed toasted walnuts. Toss in something crispy and sweet (apples and pears are ideal) and a bit of something fresh (mint and pomegranate) for a balanced bite.

1 cup walnuts
1 pound brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more, if desired
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan or pecorino, plus more for shaving (about 2 ounces)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 fennel bulb, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 tart apple, such as Pink Lady, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
1 cup mint leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Toast walnuts in a skillet over low heat, shaking pan frequently, until evenly toasted and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer nuts to a cutting board and chop.
  • Remove all outer leaves from the brussels sprouts (reserve cores for roasting or pickling) and place in a large bowl with garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Massage leaves until they are all evenly coated. Let sit about 5 minutes. (This will help them soften.)

BRUSSELS SPROUTS & APPLE SALAD



Brussels Sprouts & Apple Salad image

I made this recipe from the Healthy Heart Cookbook. This is really good and with just a few calories. Brussels sprouts are in prime form when the heads are hard and the leaves tighly bunched. If you can't find them fresh, thawed frozen sprouts work well in this tangy, crunchy salad.

Provided by Boomette

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 apple, halved, cored, and thinly sliced (I used a granny smith apple)
1/2 lb Brussels sprout, trimmed and quartered
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • Put the walnuts in a small, dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a plate to cool and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and stir into the yogurt mixture. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the brussels sprouts and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Add the brussels sprouts to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and apples and toss gently to coat.
  • Divide the salad among individual plates and sprinkle with the lemon zest and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts. Look for sprouts that are firm and brightly colored, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any discolored leaves.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Roast the Brussels sprouts. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly.
  • Add apples and walnuts. These ingredients add sweetness, crunch, and texture to the salad.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette. A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be made ahead of time and served later.

Conclusion:

This Brussels sprouts salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and fiber. The roasted Brussels sprouts are slightly caramelized and have a nutty flavor, while the apples and walnuts add sweetness and crunch.
