Recipes | December 04, 2015
Here is another great recipes I tried for the first time at the Thrive Algae oil meeting and almost couldn’t stop eating it. They gave me the recipe to share, hope you like it too 🙂
*Makes 6-8 portions (macros based on 8) as a side dish
Ingredients:
Salad:
1 small bag shredded carrots
1 small head purple cabbage, shredded on a mandoline
1 small head green cabbage, shredded on a mandoline
1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed, finely grated or shredded with a knife
Citrus Vinaigrette:
1 large garlic clove, grated or minced
1⁄4 cup finely diced shallot
1⁄4 teaspoon packed each: lemon zest, orange zest, grapefruit zest
2 tablespoons each: fresh lemon juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup Thrive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning salad
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
Toasted Seeds:
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Crispy Tofu:
1 container extra firm tofu, drained, well dried and cut into 1⁄2-inch dice
Thrive oil for searing
Preparation:
Vinaigrette:
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
To Serve:
Place the carrots, half of each head of cabbage and brussels sprouts in a large bowl with a generous pinch of kosher salt. Toss with enough dressing to lightly coat the greens. Add most of the seeds and gently toss again. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
Get a small non-stick pan very hot. Add a few tablespoon of Thrive oil and about half of the package of tofu. Cook the tofu cubes until crispy on all sides. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Transfer the tofu to the top of the salad and sprinkle the remaining seeds over the top.

Z, this sounds awesome! I wonder how it would be with a spicy peanut sauce too!
another variation – Brussels Sprouts with bacon rather than tofu ..and some baked beet with onion and goat cheese. 🙂
I make a baked beet / brussels sprout / cabbage / onion / balsamic vinegar / dijon / bacon dish, topped with some goat cheese and served with squash that’s superb 🙂
yummy!
