Ingredients

• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water, then trim off the ends. Remove any damaged outer leaves. Use a sharp knife or mandolin to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts into shreds. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Rinse the red bell pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice it into thin strips and then cut strips into small diced pieces. Add to the bowl with the shredded sprouts.

Step 3

Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Add the grated carrot to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley and add to the bowl.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until fully combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the salad bowl. Toss the salad thoroughly to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed over the sprouts and vegetables.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step can be skipped if you are in a rush, but it enhances the flavors.

Step 8

Give the salad one final toss before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve fresh as a light meal or as a side dish.
