Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw With Walnuts and Romano

mary winecoff's Note:

From Gourmet Today. A great fall salad that would be perfect for Thanksgiving. You can slice the Brussels Sprouts by hand or use an adjustable blade slicer.

Great recipe! I scaled it down to 2 servings, otherwise made just as directed. The walnuts and brussels sprouts are a great flavor combination. Next time I might add some crumbled crisp bacon. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

this is a nice change! was good for late winter, when fresh veggies are more limited and you are sick to death of soups stews and all the long cooked foods of winter. because it's what i had on hand, i used pecans, parmesan, and lemon pepper in place of the lemon juice. the raw brussels sprouts have a completely different flavor from when cooked. definitely will make again!
