Ingredients

For the salad:

1 pound Brussels sprouts
1 cup finely chopped kale
6 slices bacon fried and crumbled
¼ cup toasted pecans
¼ cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
½ cup shaved Parmesan

For the dressing:

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar free maple syrup
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To make the salad:

Trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts and shave with a mandoline, food processor, or sharp knife. Place in a serving bowl.
Add the kale, bacon, pecans, cranberries, almonds, and pumpkin seeds to the bowl.

To make the dressing:

Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a large bowl or jar and shake or whisk to combine.
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.

To assemble:

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Top with the shaved Parmesan and serve.

Notes

Mix-ins: Feel free to swap out the nuts and seeds for a different variety. Sunflower seeds and walnuts are great choices.

Cranberries: Fresh cranberries are fairly sharp and bitter tasting when raw. We like them tossed in this salad, but use them sparingly to add a pop of color and flavor. If you add too many they can overpower the salad.

Dressing: If you'd like a sweeter dressing, add additional maple syrup to taste. The brand we use is ChocZero and it has 1 net carb per tablespoon.

Serving Size: We divided this salad out into 4 generous servings (around 2 cups each) and based the nutrition information on that. You could easily make smaller portions, which would make the carb count lower.
