Ingredients

  • 5 kale leaves
  • 8-10 brussels sprouts
  • 4 slices of turkey bacon
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1/4 cup of goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup of pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup of dried cranberries
  • poppyseed dressing

Instructions

  • First, get out your cast iron skillet and add the butter to a low-medium pan. Add the turkey bacon and cook through, then dice into small bits and set aside.
  • Next, wash and dry the kale then slice into thin shreds.
  • For the brussles sprouts, I soaked and dried them, then shredded them with a cheese grater.
  • Once the greenery is ready, add a light coating of poppyseed dressing and lay down in a large white platter.
  • Top with the cooked bacon, add the crumbled goat cheese, nuts and dried cranberries. Fluff if needed, lifting the salad up from underneath once the toppings are added. Then, eat up and enjoy!
