Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

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!
