Oh brussels sprouts, how I love thee.

They are probably the one vegetable that almost always end up in my cart when I go grocery shopping. I enjoy them countless ways, but with it being officially spring and all (!!) I wanted to share a fun spring-like flavor this time around… that flavor being LEMON, which I am obsessed with right now, I might add. I’ve been trying to start my mornings with lemon water (thank you Lestraundra 😉 ) and I’m definitely getting the hang of it! I feel better about grabbing my warm lemon water first thing versus going straight for the coffee. But I digress.

Where were we? Oh yes, lemon and spring flavors.

So for these brussels sprouts I decided I wanted a lemon pepper cashew dressing.

It’s a homemade dressing that is super simple, and can be made in a high-speed small blender or food processor in seconds.

what you need:

• 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours, drained & rinsed
  
• juice of 1 lemon, plus zest
• minced garlic
• stoneground mustard
• water
• salt & pepper to taste

Just blend together all of your ingredients until you get a nice, creamy consistency.

Once your brussels sprouts are shredded and cooked down in a bit of oil, about 10-15 minutes, toss in your lemon pepper cashew dressing. And they’re ready to eat! They can be enjoyed either warm or cold 🙂 This meal is SO simple and can be ready in less than 30 minutes (once you have your cashews soaked and dressing together) 😉
