Ingredients
- 25 Brussels collections more or less
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds pumpkin seeds
DRESSING
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- lime zest
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Slice the brussels sprouts as thin as you can and put them in a bowl. Use a mandoline or food processor like I do.
- In a small jar or bowl, mix the dressing ingredients.
- Add about half of the dressing to the tails and a pinch of salt. Mix very well and taste to see if it needs more seasoning or salt.
- Before serving, add the seeds and diced avocado.
Notes
- Look for a neutral-flavored oil to make the dressing but avoid canola or corn. They are not good for your health.
- Nothing happens to the little tails if you put the dressing on them ahead of time, in fact, they soften and are tastier.
- Just don't add the avocado and seeds until you are about to serve.
