Ingredients:

Salad:

  • 10- ounces (280 g) fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed to equal 8-ounces (225 g) and shredded
  • 1 large head Romaine lettuce, cored and shredded, (about 5 to 6-ounces)
  • ½ cup (69 g) toasted whole smoked almonds, chopped
  • ½ cup (87 g) pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup (8 g) chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup; optional
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Shaved Parmesan; optional

Preparation:

  1. For the Salad: Toss together all of the salad ingredients in a serving bowl.

  2. For the Dressing & Assembly: Shake the oil, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using) and mustard together in a lidded jar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Dress the salad, lightly, but well (you might have dressing leftover). Salad is ready to serve but actually improves if allowed to stand for 1 hour. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, if desired.

Notes:

Tips

  • For a vegan option, do not use the Parmesan cheese.
  • If you do use the Parmesan cheese, know that a low FODMAP amount is considered 40 g per serving, which when it comes to shavings goes a long way!
