- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
- 2 large bunches of kale about 1 ½ lb. total, center stem discarded
- 1 lb brussels sprouts trimmed
- ½ cup almonds coarsely chopped
- 1 cup shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
To make the dressing:
Combine the lemon juice, dijon mustard, shallot, oil, garlic, and salt in a bowl or mason jar. If using a mason jar, secure the lid and shake well until combined. If using a bowl, whisk well to blend and set aside.
Place kale in large food processor and pulse 3-4 times until finely chopped. You can also do this with a knife, I just found it easier to get little pieces in the food processor. Place in large bowl.
Place brussels sprouts in food processor and pulse until shredded. I had to do this in batches and like the kale, you can also just chop finely with a knife if you don't have a food processor. Add to brussels sprouts.
Add almonds to food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to brussels sprouts and kale.
Add cheese to salad mixture.
Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Enjoy!
