Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Brussels sprouts
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by rinsing the Brussels sprouts under cold running water. Remove any discolored or damaged outer leaves, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Toast the walnuts by heating a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin curls. Alternatively, you can finely grate it based on your preference.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shaved Brussels sprouts and toss well to ensure even coating.
Roughly chop the cooled toasted walnuts and add them to the salad. Add the Parmesan shavings as well, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Toss everything together gently. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the Brussels sprout salad to a serving bowl or platter, garnish with remaining Parmesan shavings, and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and crunchy Brussels Sprout Salad with Walnuts!
