- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 30 milliliters Lemon juice
- 10 grams Dijon mustard
- 15 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the ends and remove any outer leaves that are discolored or damaged.
Using a sharp knife, finely slice the Brussels sprouts crosswise into thin shreds resembling cabbage coleslaw.
Grate the Parmesan cheese using a fine grater and set aside.
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, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the Brussels sprouts mixture and toss until all the ingredients are well coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy!
