This Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad is a crisp, fresh, and flavorful dish featuring thinly sliced Brussels sprouts tossed in a bright dressing and topped with cheese, nuts, and optional fruit. Light but satisfying — perfect for side dishes or lunch.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced or shaved
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • Dijon mustard
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Salt and pepper
  • Grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • Sliced almonds or chopped walnuts (toasted)
  • Dried cranberries or chopped apples (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim the ends off Brussels sprouts and shave them very thinly using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Fluff with your hands to separate layers.
  2. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard, maple syrup (or honey), salt, and pepper in a bowl or jar to make the dressing.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the shaved Brussels sprouts with the dressing until well coated.
  4. Add the cheese, nuts, and optional dried cranberries or apples, tossing gently to combine.
  5. Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use balsamic or red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice for a richer flavor.
  • Swap Parmesan with goat cheese or feta for a tangy twist.
  • Mix in pomegranate seeds for extra color and texture.
  • Use hazelnuts or pecans in place of almonds or walnuts.
  • Pre‑shredded or pre‑shaved Brussels sprouts work fine if fresh.
