Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad
Description
The Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad combines thinly sliced Brussels sprouts with crunchy apple slices and almonds for a crisp texture. Dried cranberries bring tartness and sweetness, while diced red onions add a mild sharp bite. Creamy goat cheese contrasts with the crunchy components, balancing richness and acidity. The lemon vinaigrette includes olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic, creating a bright, balanced dressing that coats the salad ingredients evenly. Tossing the salad and allowing it to sit for about 30 minutes helps the sprouts soften slightly and absorb the dressing flavors without losing their crunch.
This salad works well as a refreshing side dish to richer mains or can be served as a lighter lunch on its own. Its combination of fresh produce and nuts provides a variety of textures and flavors that can complement a range of menus.
The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, maintaining its freshness if kept chilled and covered.
