looking for a new salad?

This salad is great, especially during this time of year when we are all eating lots and lots of salads. After a while, I just can't bear to eat one more field green salad or spinach salad. Filled with vitamin C, K, and thought to have cancer fighting properties, brussel sprouts are not only good for you, but in this recipe they are tasty and filling. Enough babble, here you go:

Shaved Brussel Sprouts with Citrus Dressing Recipe (2 servings)
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Chill Time: 0 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes

1 cup fresh brussel sprouts
1 orange, segmented
2 tbsp slivered almonds
Juice of one lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
Dash nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Trim ends off of brussel sprouts. Bring water to a rapid boil. Place sprouts in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove sprouts from heat after one minute and immediately place in a bowl of ice water until sprouts are cool.

Shave sprouts by slicing thinly using a sharp knife (a box grater also works but I find it more cumbersome).

In separate bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Drizzle over the shaved brussel sprouts.

Garnish with almonds and orange segments. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
