I discovered this by accident last year and I have updated it for the summer.
When Brussels sprouts are out of season (yes I said Brussels sprouts) try using Red or Swiss Chard, very tender kale ( not the curly kind), or small baby cabbages.
The recipe serves :
1 cup shredded Brussels sprouts (or any tender greens..if using spinach just tear)
1 cup chopped apples (any mix)
2 tbps grated orange rind ( the rind of 1 med. orange)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped bok choy
1/2 cup chopped pecans,
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup shredded carrots
Mix all the vegetables and fruits together and dress 20 mins before serving
dressing made with
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 2 lemons
juice of 1 orange
1/4 cup avocado oil, you may use olive oil, but don't waste an extra virgin on this as there is dairy and citrus in the dressing
Whisk all the dressing together to emulsify.
It's very much like a 21st Century Waldorf Salad, without the grapes, I also substituted pecans for the walnuts, either will be fine though.
Why that Name?
It comes from an old English Nursery Rhyme about the Church Bells of The City of London first introduced in 18th and then in 19th century, more lines were added.
"Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clements" ( I always heard it as St Clemens")
