Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad
Description
Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad highlights fresh Brussels sprouts cut thinly to create a crisp base for the salad. The addition of dried cranberries and chopped pecans adds bursts of sweetness and crunch, while the thin slices of red onion provide a mild sharpness. Topped with shaved Parmesan cheese, this salad offers layers of texture and flavor. The dressing combines olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and basic seasonings, coating the ingredients evenly to bring brightness and subtle tang to the dish.
Preparation involves shaving the sprouts and whisking the dressing before tossing everything together lightly. The salad can be served immediately for a fresh bite or chilled to allow the flavors to meld. It works well as a side or a light lunch component.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container keeps the salad fresh for 3-4 days, and the dressing can be prepared up to three weeks ahead and used for other dishes. Shaving and tossing the sprouts with dressing a few hours in advance is also possible to soften the texture slightly if desired.
