Description

The most delicious chopped Fall salad with a simple honey mustard dressing!


Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing:

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced or grated
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Dash of black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

For the crispy chickpeas

  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained, rinse, and pat dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

For the salad

  • 2 cups finely shredded raw Brussels sprouts*
  • 5 leaves of kale, stems removed and finely shredded
  • 4 green onions, diced
  • 1 large apple, diced into small pieces
  • Handful of roughly chopped roasted and salted almonds
  • 2 tbsp shredded or grated parmesan, divided
  • Salt and pepper, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Dry your chickpeas with a clean kitchen towel, then spread out on a baking dish and toss with the olive oil and salt and pepper (don’t add garlic powder yet). Roast for 20-30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes, until crispy. Toss with some garlic powder once they are done roasting. Set aside.
  2. Make the dressing by adding all ingredients to a jar and giving a good shake. Set aside.
  3. Add your shredded Brussels sprouts, shredded kale, green onion, and apple to a large bowl. Give them a good toss. Add the dressing, 1 tbsp of the parmesan, and a little salt and pepper; toss again. When ready to serve, top with the chopped almonds, crispy chickpeas (you might not use all of them), and more parmesan. Serve and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored without the toppings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

You can finely shred them by hand with a sharp knife, or add them to a food processor using the shred attachment.

  1. Danielle Wrubel says:

    Um… WOW. I made half of this recipe and it was the perfect serving size for one salad. I used Dijon mustard and just added a bit more honey to make it sweeter and I used walnuts instead of almonds. It is such a good salad!!!

  2. Ellen O says:

    Love this salad and the dressing especially. I used half smooth Dijon and half coarse mustard and a little extra honey because that’s what I had. It was amazing and I’ll be making again soon!

  3. Alex Clark says:

    This salad is SO tasty! I love the crunch of the almonds and chickpeas and the crispness the apple adds. I will definitely be making this again!

  4. Eliza says:

    Love the flavors and texture in this salad! Everyone loved it at dinner and it kept well overnight too!

  5. Chelsea says:

    Not shocked that this is a 5 star recipe, I have never been disappointed with a single one of Mia’s recipes. Cooking brings me so much joy and cooking good food brings me even more, thank you for this delicious salad that was the perfect mix of flavors and perfect for an unseasonably warm winter day! Thank you

      Thank you SO much for this sweet note Chelsea- this makes my day! So glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂

  6. Tori says:

    LOVED THIS salad! Made it for the first time and added chicken that I marinated and grilled on top. It was delicious — I forgot the Parmesan cheese and still really enjoyed it! I will definitely be making this a summer staple for the family!

  7. brooke coleman says:

    OBSESSED. I forgot to add the apple, but it was still delish. We added grilled chicken for extra protein. I’m obsessed with warm salads, this totally hit the mark!
