A creamy lemon dressing with bright mint and sharp hits of feta lends a zesty bite to Brussels sprouts and almonds in this fresh, crunchy salad. Sure to satisfy, this protein- and fibre-rich salad goes a long way and keeps hunger at bay. Feta is relatively low in fat compared to other cheeses and high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Eating these nutrients together has been linked to improved bone density.
Warm it up
If raw Brussels sprouts aren’t your cup of tea, you could make this salad just as tasty by roasting the shaved sprouts on a baking sheet, drizzled with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil in a 400 F (200 C) oven for about 20 minutes. Allow sprouts to cool slightly and then toss with dressing, feta, and almonds as instructed above.
