Ingredients
The following ingredients have 3 Servings
- Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 green tea bag
- 3/4 cup blackberries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Salad:
- 1 bag of Cruciferous Crunch from Trader Joe's (shredded brussels sprouts, kale, red cabbage, green cabbage and broccoli)
- 1 bunch of shredded kale (I like to add some extra kale)
- 1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts (I used Diamond of California)
- 1/4 cup manchego cheese (grated)
Instruction
- Place green tea bag into boiling water and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Place green tea into food processor or blender making sure to press down on the tea bag to get all of the tea out.
- Place blackberries, oil, vinegar, onion, garlic, honey and salt on top of green tea in food processor or blender and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour dressing through a fine mesh strainer while pressing down with a large wooden spoon to release any extra juices. **I've made this twice now. Once where I strained the dressing and left the pulp and another time where I poured the dressing into an airtight container with a lid and vigorously shook it before I used it. Both ways it came out great.
- In a large bowl, pour shredded brussels sprouts mixture and chopped kale.
- Top with walnuts, cheese and dressing. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
