Brussels & Greens Salad

Written By Wendy Hills

We created this salad when looking through our refrigerator deciding what was for lunch. Topped with our simple oil free balsamic dressing, it was perfect to pair with a hearty soup.

Take your salad to the next level and add your favorite bean and grain to the top of this salad.

Green Envy Salad Ingredients:

  • Spinach

  • Romaine Lettuce

  • Celery

  • Brussel sprouts

  • Toasted walnuts

When creating this salad, the ratios of spinach to lettuce was equal (roughly 3 cups each), 3 celery stalk sliced thin, Brussel Sprouts that had been put through the food processor with the slicing blade and topped with maple walnuts.

Maple Walnuts: Place chopped walnuts into a fry pan and toast until golden or you begin to smell the aroma of roasted nuts. Drizzle over the nuts maple syrup and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper. Stir or toss in the pan to cover all of them. Cool before placing on top of salad.

Balsamic Dressing:

In a bowl place:

  • 3 tablespoons plain hummus (we used Roots & Roses plain hummus)

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1-2 tablespoons water for thinning ~ begin with 1 tablespoon

    Stir to blend ingredients.
