INGREDIENTS

  • 2–3 cups Brussels sprouts*, thinly sliced or shredded (in a food processor or by hand)

  3. Cook until greens wilt slightly but are still a bit crisp (between 3–7 minutes depending on the type).
  4. Remove from heat and toss with sliced apples, carrot (if using), lemon juice or vinegar, and mustard (if using); season with the desired amount of salt, pepper, and optional cheese and/or nuts.
  5. Serve warm.

Serves 4 as a side salad. Prep time, 10–15 minutes; cook time, 5 minutes.

Cook’s note: *Shredded cabbage and/or kohlrabi may be substituted for or combined with Brussels sprouts in this recipe.
