A delightful salad combining tender Brussels sprouts, crunchy nuts, and savory Parmesan, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels Sprouts Shaven or thinly sliced
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
- ½ cup Mixed Nuts Roughly chopped (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For drizzling
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice For brightness
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard For tanginess
- Salt and Pepper To taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and slice them thinly.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, add chopped nuts. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Combination
- In a large mixing bowl, add sliced Brussels sprouts, toasted nuts, and grated Parmesan. Pour the dressing over and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serving
- Transfer salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or let it chill in the fridge to enhance flavors.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan. For a nut-free option, use sunflower seeds. Allowing the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving helps meld the flavors beautifully.
