- Put in a serving bowl and top with 10 g Flaked almonds, 20 g Dried cranberries and 40 g Goat's cheese.
Notes
- If you want to make this in advance, then prepare everything separately and then dress it just before serving so the salad doesn't go soggy.
- You can shred the sprouts with a knife, or you can put them in a food processor to shred really fine.
- Use leftover pomegranate molasses for dips, meat glazes or mixed in to dips.
- You can swap the almonds for walnuts or pecans and swap the dried cranberries for raisins or dried cherries.
- Not a fan of shredded sprouts or rocket lettuce? You could use kale, iceberg or romain instead for the greens base.
- To make this salad vegan, leave out the cheese (or use a vegan alternative) and swap the honey for maple syrup.
- Make the most of Christmas leftovers and toss some leftover shredded turkey in to this.
- Why not get creative with this salad and form it so it looks like a wreath. Put the dressing in a small bowl in the middle and build the greens around it and then "decorate" it with the toppings.
