Servings : 4
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound brussel sprouts, trimmed
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup pistachios, coarsely chopped
  • 1 whole lime, juiced
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half and slice them thinly; they should look shredded.
  • Add the brussel sprouts and onion to the heated oil. Season with salt and pepper; saute for 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender.
  • Stir in the sugar, pistachios, and lime juice.
  • Continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and gently mix in the diced avocado.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Brussels sprouts are tough, so shave them as thinly as possible.
  • To avoid a soggy salad, serve it immediately. This keeps the Brussels sprouts and pistachios crunchy.
  • To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it in a bit of lemon or lime juice to slow the oxidation process.
  • To make the salad more filling, add some chicken, tofu, or chickpeas.
  • Swap the pistachios with toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
