This salad combines the flavors of a Caesar salad with tender green lacinato kale and the crunch of raw, shaved Brussels sprouts. The brown-butter breadcrumbs add additional crunch and a nutty, toasted flavor. Serve with grilled chicken for an added boost of protein.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 small avocado (about 6 ounces), mashed
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon white miso
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches lacinato kale (about 8 ounces each), stemmed and chopped
12 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced

Directions

Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in panko; cook, stirring constantly, until coated in butter and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined bowl.
Process avocado, lemon juice, Parmesan, miso, garlic, mustard, pepper and salt in a mini food processor until combined, about 30 seconds. Add oil; process until thickened and smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add kale to the bowl with the dressing. Using clean hands, massage the dressing into the kale to soften it, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sliced Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
