Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams Toasted almonds, sliced
- 50 grams Dried cranberries
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
Using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or the shredding attachment of a food processor, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts into shreds.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, grated Parmesan cheese, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to combine.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving if made in advance.
