  • 3/4 cup clementine or orange segments
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (about 1 fruit)

Directions

  1. Shave the Brussels sprouts very thinly with a mandolin, being careful not to break them up too much, and place into a bowl large enough to accommodate them.

  3. Divide among 4 plates and garnish with the clementine or orange segments and the remaining cheese, and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds all over.

Chef’s Note: You may also add thinly shaved radishes or beets to this salad, but only add beets at the very end, to avoid them bleeding on the plate.
