Instructions:
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water.
- Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
- Thinly slice the Brussels sprouts crosswise into fine shreds. For ease, you can use a mandoline slicer or the slicing attachment on a food processor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until well combined. This creates a simple and fresh lemon vinaigrette.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the shredded Brussels sprouts with the lemon vinaigrette.
- Mix well until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Let the slaw sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This gives the flavors time to meld and slightly softens the Brussels sprouts.
- Give the slaw a final toss before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with a few lemon zest shavings for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- Your lemon Brussels sprout slaw is now ready to be enjoyed as a fresh, tangy side dish or as a light and healthy main course.
Tips:
- For a finer slaw, use a mandoline or food processor to shred the brussels sprouts thinly.
- Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Customize your slaw by adding shredded carrots, slivered almonds, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for extra flavor and texture.
