Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-28-2013
Last week someone posted in the dinner thread that they were making a salad and trying to copy one from Costco, I think and it had brussel sprouts in it. I have gone through many pages of dinner threads and cannot find it again. Whoever you are, would you share your recipe?
Thanks so much.

I rmember that, but can't remember either who it was. Something about it caught my eye.

Alina posted this on Thursday.
Costco Sweet Kale salad kit: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green cabbage, kale, chicory, with a poppy seed dressing and dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. We will probably add some spinach and cucumber and either toasted almonds or pine nuts."

Thank you! That sounded so tasty and something I would like to try.
Alina, if you see this, how did the salad turn out?

It does sound good! Were the kale and chickory shredded???

I have not made it exactly as the package, DH doctored a TJ's mix of chard and kale, not sure what else, by adding Brussels sprouts and instead of slicing them in a mandoline, he just put a few in the mini food processor, also added avocado, cranberries, pumpkin seeds to the mix. I had a huge bowl and added a whole ripe sliced d'anjou pear and could not stop eating it.
I am having leftover roast chicken and veggies, so won't make it tonight. I'll post when I do, possibly tomorrow.

I will be looking for that, Alina. And, if you make your own dressing, please post that as well.
One question I have regarding the brussel sprouts. Are they eaten raw or blanched first. I have never eaten a raw brussel sprout or raw kale for that matter.

That raw brussel Sprout salad I posted around Thanksgiving was so good! I will have to keep my eye out for this salad at Costco. Haven't seen it.
Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-29-2013
Oh, I hope I coped that one, Erin! Going to look right now!

All the salad ingredients we used are raw except for the nuts and seeds which are toasted. We have been making a lot of salads with raw kale. I really like it. The pieces are small though. Ditto for the chard. The brussells sprouts we treat as the cabbage they are, so no blanching. Steve used a mandoline and a mini fp, I just sliced them super thin with a knife. Some times we've added some sort of the lettuce or baby spinach, but the last had neither. DH made the dressing, so don't know proportions but basically a plain vinaigrette with no mustard, and some Splenda.
