A Thanksgiving Side Dish with a Twist
Love and Lemons is one of my favorite blogs for finding new and innovative recipes using classic, healthy ingredients. There’s nothing to buy at a specialty store, yet their recipes taste as they came from a gourmet kitchen. Enter Shredded Bussels Sprout Salad that uses only seven ingredients and is a snap to make.
Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad
Yield: 4-6 as a side
Ingredients
4 cups Brussels sprouts (Trader Joes sells them already shredded)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup pine nuts, toasted
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup grated pecorino cheese (optional)
⅓ cup chopped chives
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts using a mandoline if you have one. Place them into a medium bowl and toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, pine nuts, cranberries, pecorino cheese, chives, and pinches of salt and pepper.
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasonings. Finish with an additional drizzle of olive oil if you like.
Shredding made easy
using a mandoline speeds up the process
Here’s what Love and Lemons have to say about why this recipe is so fabulous:
It’s a breeze to put together. Simply shave your sprouts (or use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts), and toss them with olive oil, lemon, dried cranberries, grated cheese, pine nuts, chives, salt & pepper.
You can prep it hours in advance. The hearty Brussels sprouts hold up well even if you dress them ahead of time, so this recipe is a perfect one to make ahead for holiday parties.
Even though it’s made with so FEW ingredients, it’s so delicious. The bright lemon, chewy, tart cranberries, and salty cheese are a simple, yet addictive combination. With just a few ingredients, this salad checks all the flavor boxes.
