Ingredients

SALAD

  • 6 cups kale chopped, stems removed
  • 2 avocados sliced in small wedges (do not cut or add to salad until serving)
  • 15 ounces garbanzo beans chickpeas
  • 1 pound Brussel sprouts ends removed, cut in half
  • 4 ears corn or 1 cup frozen or canned drained
  • 1 red onion cut into slivers
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half tomatoes

DRESSING

  • 1 garlic clove finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons dijon Mustard
  • ¼ cup champagne vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2-3 dashes hot sauce I used Sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup water

OPTIONAL

GARNISH (OPTIONAL)

  • Sesame Seeds
  • Parsley

Instructions

SALAD

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Wash, chop and remove stems from 2 bunches of kale (yield 6 cups)
  • Rinse and drain chickpeas (keep aquafaba for other uses)
  • Wash, remove ends and cut 1 pound Brussel sprouts, each in half.
  • Roast Brussel Sprouts for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Remove from oven and let cool before adding to the salad.
  • In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Grill and remove corn from 4 cobs of corn, or you can boil fresh corn; (you may also use 1 cup frozen, cooked corn, or canned corn (drained); I grilled on medium heat for ten minutes on each side.
  • Cut 1 red onion into slivers.
  • Cut grape tomatoes in half
  • Keep avocados whole until right before serving; when serving, slice into thin wedges for the top of the salad

DRESSING

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or whisk together
  • Dress salad BEFORE serving, and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; kale does best if dressed before and left in marinate. It softens the kale and allows it to marinate.

SERVE

  • Put all ingredients in a large bowl, except for the avocado.
  • Toss the rest of the ingredients in the dressing
  • Add avocado right before serving.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley
