Brussels Sprouts and Apple Winter Salad
I like to eat salads in winter too, to keep things light. This is great as a stand alone salad or as a side dish. Brussels sprouts are high in nutrients and fibre and a fantastic source of vitamin K. So if you're after a nutritionally dense lunch, try this on for size.

What you need
WHAT YOU NEED
900g Brussels sprouts, halved
1 crunchy red apple, cut into thin slices
2 spanish onions, cut into rough segments
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of sea salt
For the dressing
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice from one small lemon
1 tablespoon white miso paste
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch cracked black pepper
What to do
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Toss the sprouts, Spanish onions, olive oil and salt in a large bowl until well coated. Transfer to a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 30-35mins, or until the sprouts are a nice golden colour. Remove from oven and set aside.
To make the dressing
Combine all ingredients in a small blender and buzz until well combined.
To serve
Arrange the sprout, onions and sliced apple in a serving bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Best enjoyed warm, when you can enjoy the contrast between the roasted onions and sprouts and the crunchy fresh apple.
