If you’re a sprouts lover, try our delicious autumn-inspired brussels sprouts caesar salad! Here’s everything you need to make the salad:
Shaved brussels sprouts: when we roast brussels sprouts, they become sweet and mild with a tender crunch. We like to shave or shred them right before making the salad so they’re fresh. To save time, you can also purchase them pre-shredded in the produce section of your grocery store. Sweet potatoes: roasted sweet potatoes are sugary-sweet and a little bit nutty tasting. Roasted butternut squash also tastes wonderful in this salad. Olive oil + butter: we use a bit of butter to toast the walnuts but you can use olive oil to keep this salad vegan. Chopped walnuts: walnuts offer a nice earthy crunch but other nuts like pecans, sliced almonds, or even pumpkin seeds taste great too. Mandarin orange: we like the taste of mandarins but feel free to use other varieties like clementines or chopped navel orange segments. Pomegranate: deep red pomegranate arils give this salad a festive feel and a sweet-tart punch of flavor.
Here’s what we use to make the orange lemon salad dressing:
Olive oil: any variety of extra-virgin olive oil works here. Juice of one mandarin orange and one lemon: freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh lemon juice give this dressing a sweet yet tart citrus taste. Garlic clove: a small minced garlic clove gives it a pungent kick. Sea salt + black pepper: for seasoning, to taste.
Try adding some crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese for added flavor and a creamy texture. Swap the pomegranate arils for dried cranberries or dried currants. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to offset the tart citrus taste. Add some chopped or sliced apples for even more sweet crunch. Honeycrisp apples are our favorite!
