Low Histamine Brussels Sprout Chicken Pesto Salad

Okay, so I know that this is already my third salad with Brussels sprouts this year – I guess I have been a little obsessed with them lately 😉 So bare with me and my love of Brussels sprouts for just one more salad recipe and I promise you all I will take a little break from recipes with Brussels sprouts. But for this week they will once again star in this Low Histamine Brussels Sprouts Chicken Pesto Salad 🙂

Low Histamine Brussels Sprouts Chicken Pesto Salad
Making this salad is pretty straight forward! Start with frying up the chicken, with a little olive oil and salt. Then make the Low Histamine Pesto 🙂 Simply add the greens (baby kale and basil), hemp seeds, optional nuts, a small spring onion, extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt into a container that fits a hand held blender. Blend it till it has the texture you prefer. You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less olive oil.

For the salad, clean all the veggies. Slice up the Brussels sprouts, carrots and cauliflower finely. Or if you are lacy like me use your food processor for this step 🙂 Wash and (spin) dry the mixed lettuce leaves and mix it all up in a nice big bowl 🙂

When the chicken is done and nicely crispy on the outside, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes, before you slice it up. Serve up a pile of salad, place the chicken on top, and drizzle with pesto. Dig in and enjoy \o/
