Classic Flavours Brought Together in a Warm, Simple Salad
Serves 4 as a side dish
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Brussels Sprouts, Root Ends Removed
- 1 Bunch Green Onions, Root Ends Removed
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil, or Substitute Canola Oil
- ½ English Cucumber
- 1 Apple
- 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup (Optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- ¼ Cup Gouda Cheese, Medium Diced
Directions:
- Roughly chop the Brussels Sprouts. You can use a food processor to make this easier. Slice the Green Onion and separate the whites from the greens.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the Brussels Sprouts and the white parts of the Green Onion and sauté for 7-10 minutes, until the Sprouts are softened and beginning to brown.
- Meanwhile core the Apple, then cut into matchsticks. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and slice into half-moons. Add these to a large bowl.
- When the Sprouts are almost finished, remove the frying pan from heat and add the Vinegar, Maple Syrup, Salt and Pepper. Stir quickly for 30 seconds, bringing everything together, then add to the large bowl.
- Mix everything together, then top with the rest of the Green Onion and the Cheese. Enjoy!
