Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Lemon Dressing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts
   Using a food processor with the slicing attachment, or a sharp knife, shave the Brussels sprouts very thinly. Place the shaved sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
2. Toast the almonds
   Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
3. Make the dressing
   In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced shallot, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
4. Combine the salad
   Add the toasted almonds, dried cranberries, Parmesan cheese, and apple slices to the bowl with the shaved Brussels sprouts.
5. Dress and serve
   Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the Brussels sprouts to soften slightly and the flavors to meld.
6. Adjust seasoning
   Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired before serving.
