Ingredients

Scale

Citrus Champagne Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet yellow onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice concentrate
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  •  

Salad:

  • 1 pound fresh brussel sprouts, shaved (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shaved
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 2 honey crisp apples, chopped
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Dressing: put all the dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender and blend on high until fully combined.
  2. Build Salad: put all the salad ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine.
  3. Toss with Dressing: pour the dressing over the top of the salad and toss to coat. Taste and make any adjustments, as needed.
  4. Serve: enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Salad Ingredients: feel free to adjust any of the salad ingredients according to your own personal preferences.
  • Make Ahead: this is a great salad to prep ahead of time – just cut the apples right before serving so they don’t turn brown and don’t add any dressing before serving (or things will get soggy). 
  • Dairy Free: omit the parmesan cheese or swap with a dairy-free alternative.
