Raw Brussels Sprout Salad | www.infinebalance.com
Last winter I made this salad no less then 5 times. And I'm not really sure why I haven't shared it sooner. A blend of simple flavours, it is perfectly balanced.

When pomegranates are fresh and readily available, sprinkle some on top to finish the salad. I would use ½ - to 1 cup. They add a nice pop of colour which is really festive for the holidays, but since we are so far over the holidays (I am so far over the holidays), we are going straight up this time.

This is an elegant and rich salad which could be served as a side dish or a starter.

Be generous with this salad. Be generous with the olive oil, the Parmesan and the walnuts. Be generous because it really is one of those occasions where more is better.

The salad is best served right after tossing, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to happily eating leftovers the next day. The salad is certainly better when its fresh tossed, but slightly wilted shaved sprouts covered in a good quality parmesan and olive oil works nicely for lunch.

I used the slicing blade of my food processor to slice the sprouts. You could use just a good sharp knife. But I find the smallest slicing blade on my food processor does the required job in minutes. The sliced sprouts will keep covered and refrigerated for several hours before serving. Assembly is simple enough. Just toss everything together in one bowl. Depending on saltiness of your cheese you may want to add a bit more cheese or a bit of salt. Taste and adjust as necessary.

    I love brussels sprouts salads! They taste so fresh with some crunch. I usually add some dried cherries, but they really don't need much adornment.

      I agree I love the crunch of the fresh sprouts.
      Dried cherries would be a fantastic addition!

    This looks so yummy! I've seen shredded brussels sprouts before at Trader Joes, but I never thought about making them myself. This salad looks like a great way to use them.

Hi. I'm Trish.

I'm a curious home cook, just as enthusiastic about healthy ingredients and whole foods as I am about cookies.
