Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb. fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (toasted or raw)
  • ½ red onion, small diced
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Dressing Ingredients

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup to add to dressing

Instructions

  1. Prep the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut each sprout in half to prepare them for shredding.
  2. Shred the Sprouts: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a food processor and pulse until finely shredded. Alternatively, use a mandoline slicer for even thin slices. Transfer the shredded sprouts to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add Salad Components: Add the small diced red onion, shredded parmesan cheese, and chopped walnuts to the bowl with the shredded sprouts. Toss everything together to combine evenly.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, pepper, and salt. If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
  5. Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing.
  6. Serve or Chill: Enjoy the salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve for a chilled, crisp option.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring often to avoid burning.
  • Use a food processor with a shredding or slicing blade for quickest results, or a mandoline for uniform shreds.
  • The optional honey or maple syrup is a great addition if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh but can be stored chilled for up to 24 hours without losing texture.
  • Substitute parmesan with vegan cheese to make this salad vegan-friendly.
