Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw Salad with Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 cups brussel sprouts
  • 1 head of radicchio
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese optional for serving

Chicken

  • Grill a boneless thigh of chicken seasoned with salt and pepper until cooked through
  • I often just serve with leftover chicken or protein that's handy

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Thinly slice Brussels spouts and radicchio.
  2. Add green onions and pecans and set aside.
  3. Make dressing: whisk mustard, garlic, honey, lemon juice and olive oil in a medium size bowl.
  4. Pour desired amount of dressing to coat the slaw and top with Parmesan cheese.
  5. If desired, top with grilled chicken.
  6. If you don't have chicken already prepared, season some boneless chicken with salt and pepper and your seasoning of choice. Either pop it under a grill or pan fry until cooked through.
  7. The slaw is very robust in flavor so the chicken is best cooked simply.

Recipe Notes

Feel free to top the slaw with any fish or meat protein of your choice.
To make the dish kosher, eliminate Parmesan if you're topping this with chicken
Serve slaw as a side dish-goes well with a BBQ!
