Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 cups kale
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Ground pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Shave the Brussels sprouts either using a food processor, mandolin slicer, box grater or knife. I find it easiest and quickest to do this in the food processor. Add these to a large bowl.
- Thinly slice the kale into fine ribbons. I like to roll the kale leaves together width-wise and then slice them from top to bottom. It's quick and easy! Add these to the bowl as well.
- Place the almonds on a baking sheet or dry skillet. Toast them in the toaster oven or saute them until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add those to the bowl, followed by the hemp hearts.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Whisk together to form the dressing. Pour the dressing over the ingredients in the bowl and massage together with your hands. (messy, but worth it). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve immediately or top with your favorite protein and enjoy!
