Trimming a generous amount of the stem from the brussels sprouts makes it quite a bit easier to tease apart the leaves for this winter slaw recipe.
Recipe information
Yield
Serves 8
Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh blood orange or regular orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups Brussels sprouts
2 firm but ripe red-skinned pears, cut into quarters, cored, thinly sliced
1 bunch small beets, trimmed, peeled, thinly shaved on a mandoline
4 cups mixed radicchio leaves, torn if large
1/4 cup unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk orange juice, oil, vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl to combine. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
