Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, shaved
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shaving the Brussels sprouts thin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shaved Brussels sprouts, Parmesan cheese, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until well combined.
  5. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Notes

Serve this salad cold or slightly chilled. Pair with grilled chicken, fish, or roasted meat, or enjoy it alone for a light meal. Add extra Parmesan on top if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate to maintain crunchiness of almonds.
