Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat dry. Trim the ends and any yellowing outer leaves. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the sliced Brussels sprouts and toss until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Add the chopped almonds and dried cranberries to the salad. Gently toss again to combine.
Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature, so the flavors meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad as a garnish.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious and healthy dairy-free Brussels sprouts salad!
