Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 50 g Raw almonds
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Wash them thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and remove any discolored outer leaves.
Step 2
Using a food processor or a sharp knife, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the raw almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once toasted and fragrant, remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Roughly chop the almonds and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the vinaigrette over the sliced Brussels sprouts and toss thoroughly to coat all the sprouts in the dressing.
Step 6
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped toasted almonds, and fresh parsley to the salad. Toss again to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 7
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the salad fresh. It can be served on its own or as a flavorful side dish to complement your main course.
