Serves 6

Ingredients

Ingredients
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1 head kale, shredded
  • 4 cups brussels sprouts, shredded
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup shredded manchego cheese
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped
Balsamic Dressing
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon apple butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • kosher salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the prosciutto in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crisp. Watch closely.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the kale and brussels sprouts. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
