Crunchy Winter Slaw with Brussels sprouts + Cabbage

Refreshingly vibrant nutritional powerhouse



Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, finely shredded (I use a food processor for this)

  • 4 cups Napa cabbage, finely shredded

  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced

  • 1 apple, preferably Pink Lady or Honeycrisp, thinly sliced and julienned

  • 3-4 small Persian cucumbers, chopped

  • 1 1/2 cups of cooked or 1 can of chickpeas, drained and dried

  • For the chickpeas: smoked paprika, garlic spice, onion spice

  • Jen’s Salad Crunchies

  • Optional add-ins: I like to add an avocado for creaminess, and I sometimes chop pea shoots and arugula

    Citrus Maple Dresssing

  • 3 Tbs olive oil

  • 2 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 Tbs cider vinefar

  • 1 Tbs maple syrup

  • 1 tsp Djon mustard

  • 1 large garlic clove, minced

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste



    Instructions

  • Spray the chickpeas with a dash of olive oil, add the spices and mix well.

  • Place in an air fryer for 15-20 min, shaking halfway through or roast in a 40º oven until crisp

  • In the meantime make the dressing and mix all the salad ingredients well

  • Pour the dressing over the salad and let it stand for 10 min or longer to allow flavors to meld



Notes

  • Serves 6-8

  • Make ahead tip: You can shave the Brussels sprouts up to 2 days in advance and store in an airtight container
