"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!

This is a delicious and easy side, although I find myself eating a huge portion for dinner. It's got a great crunch, even thinly sliced using my mandolin. Don't skimp on the black pepper, it goes well with the salty pecorino and tangy lemon.

A must try - Brussel Sprouts are one of my favorites, but usually I steam them. Eating them raw, in place of cabbage slaw seems like the best way to expand my menu. This would also be great with grated apple added.
