Meal prep is key here! Make and refrigerate dressing in the Cruet; it will keep well up to one week. Shred Brussels sprouts the night before too, or swap in a bag of coleslaw mix. Salad pairs well with Crispy & Crunchy Chicken Strips.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Caesar Dressing Mix
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup milk, your choice
- 1 lb (450 g) Brussels sprouts, about 20–25 sprouts
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1⁄4 cup pomegranate seeds
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together dressing mix, mayo, lemon juice, oil, and milk. If making ahead, pour into a Cruet and refrigerate up to 1 week. Dressing makes about 3⁄4 cup.
- Using the 3.5 mm slicer on the 4-in-1 Mandoline, thinly shred sprouts; or use the Prep Pro Chef Knife to cut sprouts in half and then slice each half into thin ribbons. You should have about 6 cups.
- Place in a large bowl with spinach. Drizzle with half the dressing; save remainder for use another day. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and add toppings, if desired.
