#PantryInsiders Pompeian recipe salad side dish summer veggies

Sweet Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad with Orange & Honey Vinaigrette

pompeian disclosureshaved brussel sprouts saladDid you know that May was National Salad and Vinegar Month? Earlier this month I was in Miami attending BlogHer Food, an annual conference for food bloggers, when I got up close and personal with Pompeian and I got to create my very own vinaigrette right there at their booth. They even bottled it up and printed a label out for me, if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen it.

Since I’m also a Pompeian Pantry Insider, I created a salad and another vinaigrette right here at home in honor of this month. But really, any day can be Salad and Vinegar day for me, especially if it’s anything like this salad I whipped up. It’s the perfect thing for those hot summer days when you don’t want anything too heavy. It’s filling enough to satisfy your hunger, and sweet enough to remind you of the season. Most of my salads are thought up after staring into my fridge and rifling through my vegetable drawer, and this salad was no different. It’s packed with a variety of fruits and what makes it unique is the base is shredded brussel sprouts and apple pears. When I was younger I hated brussel sprouts. They were served to me boiled, with melted cheese and I had to force myself to chew just one. Now that I’m older I have an appreciation for them, and I’ve found different ways to prepare them that I can stomach. I love them roasted, or shredded in a salad like I’m sharing with you today. For this salad I added some cherry tomatoes, oranges, craisins and some zucchini to round it out, then adding a little sweetness to the vinaigrette by including orange zest and honey in addition to the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley and shallots.

Pompeian has a line of wine vinegars that come in seven varieties. There’s many different infused flavors such as Roasted Garlic, Pomegranate, Blueberry Pomegranate, and a Sherry Aged Wine Vinegar. They are great for adding unique tastes to salad dressings and also a way to add something new to a marinade.

Another option is the Pompeian line of Balsamic Vinegars with are also great for salad dressings, marinades and even sauces. The flavors are deep, luscious and distinctive both in their flavor and aroma, a direct result from the aging process of select grapes in wooden casks. The Balsamic Vinegars come in three varieties – Balsamic Vinegar, White Balsamic Vinegar, and Pomegranate Infused Balsamic Vinegar. Each has a distinct taste, but I chose the best selling Balsamic Vinegar for this recipe. On it’s own it’s dark, rich and full of character. I thought it would be a great addition to an otherwise light salad, which it was.

The salad is great as is for a light lunch, or you can add some grilled chicken for added protein. You can even crumble some feta cheese on top and add some slivered almonds. But the dressing is delicious, light, and definitely a summer staple.

Sweet Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad Ingredients:

  • 8 large brussel sprouts, shaved/shredded

    This recipe makes brussel sprouts seem appealing! I think I would like to try this especially if you head to PA and cook for me. Seriouly, this looks amazing and the recipe is not intimidating at all.

    Hey Dawn, the brussel sprouts and zucchini are raw, correct? Just wanted to make sure so I can try out the recipe. Also what do you use to shave the brussel sprouts?

    gracias 🙂

    • MamaHarris says

      June 5, 2014 at 6:14 pm

      Yes, they are all raw! I used a cheese grater to “shave” them, but they can also just be chopped finely or you can use a mandolin.
      Will you be making this soon?

      It’s funny too, because I hated brussel sprouts so much as a kid that I can’t believe how much I love this salad! It’s fun to make too!

    […] I discovered that I rather enjoy both the Classic Olive Oil and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but they are each used for different reasons. The classic olive oil has a higher smoke point, so it’s better for cooking, while the extra virgin olive oil is wonderful for dressings and marinades. Since I wanted to make a pasta salad with a pesto salad dressing, the Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil was the oil of choice. I look forward to sharing more of what I learned in the coming months with different recipes and flavors that I plan to show you.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
