Here are another super fun and festive idea for your Christmas table! Beautifully charred bauble sprouts, pretty sliced figs, bright curly kale, delicate pea shoots, pomegranate jewels, and maple roasted pecans. Finished with a dressing to die for made with EVOO, garlic, shallots, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice, then dusted with a snowy sprinkling of parmesan.

Be creative and change it up to your liking… substitute the figs or Brussels sprouts for avocado, change the kale to spinach, leave out the pea shoots… but whatever you don’t mess with the magic dressing, don’t leave out the parmesan and always have maple roasted pecans (double the quantity so you can scoff some before serving… because they are sooooo good that they may not make it to the serving board). Trust me, try this salad… you can thank me later.

Ingredients

SALAD

200g Brussels Sprouts

Olive Oil

Sea Salt flakes

Freshly ground black pepper

100g Pea Shoots

100g Curly Kale

2 Figs sliced into 6

Handful of pomegranate

60g Parmesan

DRESSING

125ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 tsp White wine vinegar

3 tbsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed

2 Small shallots peeled and minced

2 Garlic cloves crushed

1 tsp Salt

½ tsp Black pepper

MAPLE PECANS

120g Pecans

3 tbsp Maple syrup

¼ tsp Salt

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180℃ line and oven tray with baking paper

Mix the pecans, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a bowl

Roast for 8-10 min, remove and set aside to cool

Place Brussels sprouts on an oven tray, drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven until slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

For the dressing, place all ingredients in a jar with the lid and shake until combined.

Place kale in a bowl, shake up the salad dressing, and put a few spoons of dressing on the kale with half of the parmesan.

Massage the kale with your hands for a couple of minutes to soften and soak up the flavours

Arrange the kale on a round board or tray in a ring shape resembling a wreath, leave some room in the middle for another inner-ring of the pea shoots

Put the pea shoots in a bowl and drizzle over a few spoons of the dressing. Add half of the remaining parmesan and gently toss it together.

Arrange the pea shoots like an inner ring making sure to leave the middle an empty circle as the picture shows

Now decorate the top dotting over the Brussels sprouts, figs, pomegranate, and maple pecans, sprinkle the remaining parmesan on top.

Drizzle more of the dressing if desired

Serve immediately
