Ingredients

• 1 pound brussels sprouts, stems removed
• 2 medium red apples, diced (300 grams)
• 1/2 cup almonds, cut in half/sliced
• optional toppings: sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch red pepper flakes
• salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons water (depending on consistency desired)

Instructions

1. Toast the almonds. In a nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat, add almonds and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Make sure to stir so they do not burn. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Make the dressing. Add all ingredients to a small bowl or jar and mix until combined. Add more water if you would like a thinner consistency. Set aside.
3. Shred the brussels sprouts. Run through your food processor with the larger shredding attachment. Add to a large bowl with the apples and almonds. Mix in dressing and stir to combine. Top with sesame seeds if using and enjoy!
