Healthy Brussels Sprout Salad
What about a delicious Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad that's just bursting with flavor. Who knew that Brussels sprouts could go from 0 to 100 so fast, right?
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup cranberries
- ¼ cup pecorino cheese grated
- 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife or a mandolin to thinly shave the Brussels sprouts, then use your fingers to break them up.
- In a bowl (I like to use the bowl I will be serving in), mix together the mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, cranberries, and pecorino cheese into the bowl with the dressing and toss until everything is well coated. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- To make this vegan, dump the pecorino and replace it with a vegan cheese or skip the cheese entirely. Add in stuff like nutritional yeast for a cheesy kick or toasted pumpkin seeds for some protein power.
- Although this salad is normally served cold or at room temperature, if you’re more into warm salads, just give the shredded Brussels sprouts a quick sauté in a tiny bit of olive oil. After 2-3 minutes, add them back in with the rest of the ingredients and serve.
