Ingredients
- 450 grams Brussels sprouts
- 100 grams Walnuts
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the Brussels sprouts under cold running water. Remove any discolored or damaged outer leaves, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Toast the walnuts by heating a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool.
Step 4
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin curls. Alternatively, you can finely grate it based on your preference.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the shaved Brussels sprouts and toss well to ensure even coating.
Step 7
Roughly chop the cooled toasted walnuts and add them to the salad. Add the Parmesan shavings as well, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Step 8
Toss everything together gently. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the Brussels sprout salad to a serving bowl or platter, garnish with remaining Parmesan shavings, and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and crunchy Brussels Sprout Salad with Walnuts!
