Instructions

Shaved Brussel Sprouts

  1. Remove any outer leaves that are wilted or discolored.
  2. Thinly slice the sprouts crosswise using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or a food processor.
  3. Place the shredded Brussels sprouts into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 tsp salt and massage the sprouts until the leaves wilt, for 2-3 minutes. Place aside.

Sweet Orange Dill Dressing

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the orange zest, the juice of 1 orange (3 tablespoons), 1/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, maple syrup, dill, salt, and pepper.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.

Putting it All Together

  2. Garnish with fennel fronds or fresh dill. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

How to dice an orange

  1. First, start by cutting off both ends of the orange to create a stable base.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the peel in sections, following the curve of the fruit.
  3. Slice the orange into even rounds.
  4. Stack a few rounds together and cut them into strips.
  5. Gather the strips and chop them into small cubes.

 

how to shave brussel sprouts for salad?

To prepare Brussels sprouts for a salad, first remove any wilted or discolored outer leaves.

Either use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the sprouts crosswise. Alternatively, to get quicker and more consistent results, you can use a food processor with a slicing attachment.

By using this technique, you can create delicate and tender shavings that will add texture and flavor to your salad.

How to Store

To store Brussel Sprout Salad, transfer it to an airtight container or a resealable bag. Make sure to remove any excess air before sealing it tightly. Refrigerate the salad for up to 3-4 days to maintain its freshness and crispness.

If making ahead for guests, make sure to keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to maintain the salad's freshness and crunchiness.
