Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them thinly. Spread them out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  2. Prepare the kale by removing the tough stems and chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil, and massage the leaves gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In the bowl with the massaged kale, add the roasted Brussels sprouts along with pomegranate seeds and your choice of nuts. Toss everything together.
  4. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and Dijon mustard. Whisk until well blended.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently. Serve immediately for the best texture or let it chill for 10 minutes for flavor melding.
