Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 40 grams Almonds, sliced and toasted
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 50 grams Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowed or damaged outer leaves. Rinse them thoroughly.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, until just tender but still bright green. Drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

Once cooled, drain the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with paper towels. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified.

Step 5

Place the sliced Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over them and toss to evenly coat. Let the Brussels sprouts marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Before serving, gently fold in the shaved Parmesan, toasted almond slices, chopped parsley, and dried cranberries.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
