Here’s what you will need to whip up Daniel Hewes East Hampton based Nutritionist’s vibrant brussel sprout and kale salad:

Salad Dressing

Daniel Hewes keeps things simple with his giant bowl of greens.  For this fitness fanatic, it’s important that the greens stand out in the dish.  Both in terms of flavor and visual, Hewes looks to craft a salad that is vibrant, all around.  Overweighting the salad with dressing is, in short, not sustainable.  The less dressing, the better, the Nutritionist explains.

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste
