Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

For those who think you don’t like Brussels Sprouts, pause… let’s see what happens to them when we add a decent flavor profile. This healthy, clean salad is crunchy, flavorful, and interesting all in one bite. It’s fresh like summer, crisp like springtime, and full of fall and winter flavors. A perfect snack, app, or dinner if eating light. Makes me think that maybe some Instagram Reels are worth watching…

what you need

1 bag of Brussels Sprouts

1/4 cup Thompson raisins

1 red pear, diced

1/4 cup roasted pistachios (you could also use Marcona almonds)

3/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

1 handful of fresh mint, sliced

4 tablespoons lemon juice

1/8 cup olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

how to make it

Remove outer leaves on Brussels Sprouts and cut them top down in thin strips, breaking them apart in a large bowl.

Add the raisins, diced pear, pistachios, cheese, and mint, and toss to combine. Squeeze lemon juice and add olive oil on top, tossing once more to combine thoroughly.

Enjoy!
