1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons sunflower oil, preferably cold-pressed

1/2 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, very thinly sliced (3 cups)

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir mustard, lemon juice, salt, and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in oil while whisking until emulsified.

Toss Brussels sprouts and chard or kale together in medium to large bowl. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon salt over greens, massage gently to soften slightly. Pour in dressing and toss to coat.
