Let's ease into this week simply, shall we?
Do you get into food ruts? I definitely do - but the thing is, I totally don't mind them. I sort of love getting the same salad at Whole Foods every time I go. Avocado toast every single morning? I'm into it.
This salad is a twist on that food rut salad from Whole Foods, also known as the Cabbage Crunch Salad. I can't get enough of that thing. But then I swapped out the cabbage for brussels and threw in some sriracha and boom... a new lunch rut was born.
I think that's a good thing?
Sesame Brussels Sprouts Salad with Sriracha Vinaigrette
serves 2
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 lb. brussels sprouts, shredded
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, toasted
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, sriracha, mustard, and garlic. Add brussels sprouts, almonds, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Toss everything together to combine. Serve!
Food ruts are the best. Especially when they involve salads like this. Gorgeous Marie!
ReplyDeleteI am such a creature of routine that I will love something for years before getting tired of it! Lately I'm trying to branch out but baby steps. : ) I love looking at the Whole Foods offerings for inspiration. Your spin with the brussels sounds perfect! Here's to the new lunch rut!
