1
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until sprouts are cooked through and golden brown. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove sprouts from heat and let cool.
2
Make the vinaigrette by putting vinaigrette ingredients (except for oil) into a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. While machine is running, pour in oil. Taste, and add more salt if needed.
3
Place almonds in a small skillet along with maple syrup and a generous pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. The syrup will have cooked off some, leaving the nuts sticky and clumped together. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4
Assemble the salads by putting some salad mix and baby kale in each bowl and adding the toppings. Drizzle some vinaigrette over the top and serve.
