Instructions
Creating the Favorite Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a food processor, pulse the Brussels sprouts until they are finely shredded. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice them as well.
2. Combine the Greens: In a large mixing bowl, add the shaved Brussels sprouts.
3. Add the Toppings: Include the grated Parmesan cheese, sliced apple, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and red onion to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until emulsified.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
6. Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste your salad. Adjust seasoning or dressing to suit your preference, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
7. Let It Rest: Allow the salad to sit for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This will also soften the Brussels sprouts slightly.
8. Serve: Serve the salad in a beautiful bowl or platter, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
These easy steps will guide you to creating a dish that’s both delicious and wholesome, offering a satisfying crunch that will brighten any dining experience.
