Kale and Brussels Slaw with Quinoa Recipe

Kale and Brussels Slaw with Quinoa Recipe

  • Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • Slaw:
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped hazelnuts
  • 3 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 small bunches lacinato (dinosaur) kale, stems removed
  • 1/2 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 3/4 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
  • 2/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
  1. In a food processor, combine the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Line a small baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Set aside.
  3. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, combine the hazelnuts, sugar and cayenne. Stir with a silicone spatula until the sugar has melted and sticks to the nuts, about 5 minutes; turn down the heat to prevent burning if needed. Spread the sticky nuts out on the foil-lined sheet to cool. When the nuts are cool enough to handle, break them up by hand.
  4. Stem the kale and chop well. Using a mandoline, shred the Brussels sprouts, discarding the tough ends. Combine both in a large salad bowl. Add the hazelnuts, quinoa, pomegranate seeds, green onions and cheese. Dress to your liking and serve immediately.
