Why I Love This Recipe

Spiciness, saltiness and earthiness join forces to create a trifecta of salad deliciousness. This one is great in the winter but good all year round.

Ingredients

1 bunch of dark kale (dino or lacinato)
12 oz whole brussel sprouts
1 Green apple
1 Jalapeno
2-3 oz Prosciutto
Vinaigrette for dressing
2-3 oz Manchego cheese
Pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds), crushed peanuts or crushed almonds to finish

Directions

1. Mix all of the following ingredients into salad bowl:
– Kale – massage a dark kale in a bowl with a little olive oil and salt. When finished massaging, roughly tear or chop kale to break up any remaining large pieces
– Brussel sprouts (raw) – using large-holed cheese grater, shave the washed, raw brussel sprouts into bowl
– Green apple – slice apple thin and long….. like apple toothpicks
– JalapeƱo – thin sliced
– Prosciutto or other salty/spicy meat – take some very thin meats and tear slices into the bowl

2. Toss with a vinaigrette (La Tourangelle’s Sesame Tamari Vinaigrette is great, but any will work)

3. Finish with:
– Manchego cheese
– Shave thin sliced pieces of cheese using a peeler, knife or grater (alternative to use Gouda)
– Pepitas, crushed peanuts or crushed almonds

4. Add optional proteins for full meal:
– Chicken – rotisserie or grilled/baked
– Avocado
