What makes this salad so tasty? Layers of flavors and textures in one bite. I literally ate it 3 days in a row.

Toasted ChickPea Crumbles

Perhaps you have had toasted chickpeas before? These are next level. After draining and drying the chickpeas, they are pulsed in a food processor into a breadcrumb-like texture. Next, they are roasted with some olive oil and garlic powder until they are crispy.

Brussels Sprouts

I sliced the Brussels instead of shredding them in a food processor. Next, they are seasoned and roasted to perfection.

Caesar Dressing

I dressed this salad with my signature Caesar Dressing. It is a classic blend of anchovies, lemon, olive oil, and egg whites. It’s our family favorite for a good reason!

What are the ingredients?

To make this delish Warm Brussels Caesar Salad with Chickpea Crumbles, the main ingredients are:

2 lbs of Brussels Sprouts & a can of chickpeas

olive oil, lemon, garlic cloves, garlic powder, egg whites, anchovies

How to serve

This salad is best served warm or at room temperature. When ready to serve, toss the Brussels with the Caesar dressing and sprinkle with the chickpea crumbs. An optional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese makes it even better.

Can this be made in advance?

The chickpea crumbs can be made in advance and stored in an airtight bag or container. The Brussels can be made in advance and reheated to serve. Take care not to overcook as they taste better with a little crunch.

This Warm Brussels Caesar salad with chickpea crumbs is going to be a tasty addition to my Thanksgiving buffet this year. Hope you enjoy it as well.
