Brussel Sprout and Cabbage Salad

Healthy salads are a delicious way to combine fresh, wholesome ingredients into a meal that’s both satisfying and flavorful. This vibrant salad features purple cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and avocado, paired with dried cherries and goat cheese. The crunch of almonds and a zesty orange-rosemary dressing elevate it to a truly memorable dish.

Begin by preparing the dressing, which brings a citrusy brightness to the salad. Whisk together orange juice, olive oil, and maple syrup, then add fresh rosemary for an aromatic touch. A pinch of salt and cracked black pepper ties the flavors together perfectly.

Next, assemble the salad by thinly slicing the cabbage and Brussels sprouts for a crisp, fresh base. Toss in cubed avocado for creaminess, dried cherries for a sweet-tart bite, and crunchy almonds for texture. Finish with crumbled goat cheese, which adds a rich and tangy flavor.

Finally, drizzle the orange-rosemary dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. This salad is perfect as a light lunch, a refreshing side dish, or even a main course when paired with grilled chicken. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, it’s a healthy recipe you’ll want to make again and again.
