Chopped Brussels Sprout Salad with Chicken and Walnuts

Step 1

Prepare the chicken. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by very thinly slicing them with a mandoline. In a food processor, pulse the walnuts a few times until chopped. Place in a small skillet over medium high heat with no oil or butter and toast until golden brown, stirring or shaking constantly.

Step 2

In the small skillet, saute the butter and onion over medium high heat until the onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onions to a food processor. Add the orange juice, honey, and olive oil. Puree until smooth and creamy. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts in the empty sautéed onion pan and place over high heat. Stir for 1-2 minutes until you can smell them and they turn bright green. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts, walnuts, chicken, and Parmesan.

Step 4

Toss the dressing and salad together. Serve warm or cold. If you plan to keep leftovers, keep the dressing separate.
