This shaved brussel sprout salad is fresh, tangy, and delightfully crunchy. Perfect for beginner cooks, it’s tossed in a mustard vinaigrette and finished with parmesan. No cooking required—just slice, mix, and enjoy!
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1 pound brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, mustard, sugar, and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
For best flavor, let the shaved brussel sprout salad marinate before serving. Swap parmesan for feta or add nuts for extra crunch.
