SALAD

20 pcs Brussels sprouts
handful of peeled almonds
handful of dried cranberries
100 g Niva cheese

DRESSING

1 tablespoon wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Clean the Brussels sprouts and separate them into individual leaves. Bring about 2 liters of water to a boil, salt thoroughly, and blanch the sprout leaves vigorously and uncovered for 1-2 minutes. Immediately drain and let cool in ice-cold water. This way, the sprouts will retain their color and crispness.
2
Toast the almonds in a dry pan until golden and fragrant. Alternatively, you can toast them at full power in a microwave oven; just spread them on a suitable plate and stir every minute. They should be ready after about 3-4 minutes.
3
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Remove the sprout leaves from the ice water and let them drain, or dry them in a salad spinner. Gently mix with the dressing and divide onto plates. Sprinkle with almonds, cranberries, and crumbled Niva cheese, and serve immediately with a piece of fresh bread.

Pesto from vegetable greens is a great way to use the whole vegetable and avoid waste. It tastes great with fresh pasta, on toasted bread, or as a seasoning for soups. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed jar covered with a layer of oil. Enjoy!
