Description
This incredible shaved brussels sprouts salad is full of crunchy almonds and salty and nutty Parmesan is anything but boring. The biggest deal closer is the ridiculously simple lemony garlic dressing that makes this taste like it came straight out of a restaurant kitchen.
Ingredients
Salad

Notes
1. Almost all the big grocery chains now carry the already shaved brussels sprouts in their refrigerated section right next to the other salads. if they do not all you need is a mandolin or a sharp know to slice them up. You can even use your slicing attachment on the Kitchen Aid food processor. I have done that when I was in a pinch.
2. The original recipe had Marcona almonds. But for starters they are hard to find. And secondly they are super pricy. Plus I love the slivered almonds for this salad more any how.
3. The nutritional information should be used as a guide.
