Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts: 1 pound
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
  • Maple Syrup: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black Pepper: to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, shaved
  • Pecans: 1/2 cup, roughly chopped
  • Dried Cranberries: 1/2 cup

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

Remove the outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and trim the ends. Rinse and drain them thoroughly.

Step 2: Shave the Brussels Sprouts

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts to create shavings.

Step 3: Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the shaved Brussels sprouts, sliced apples, cranberries, and nuts. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 5: Let it Rest

Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 6: Serve

Toss the salad again before serving to refresh the ingredients, and enjoy it as a side or main dish.

Notes

Note 1: Adjusting the Flavor

Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the dressing by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preference.

Note 2: Nut Alternatives

If you have nut allergies, you can easily substitute the nuts with seeds or omit them altogether.

Note 3: Make Ahead

This salad can be made ahead of time; just wait to add the dressing until you’re ready to serve to keep the Brussels sprouts crisp.
