Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe
Salad Ingredients:
- 4 cups shaved Brussels sprouts
- ¾ cup pecorino Romano cheese, grated
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
Dressing Ingredients:
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced or smashed
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the shaved Brussels sprouts, pecorino Romano, and toasted walnuts.
- In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, champagne vinegar, honey, garlic, and pepper until well combined.

This salad is hearty enough to stand on its own, but if you’re extra hungry, it’s delicious with a piece of grilled chicken or bacon on top. It also holds up well in the fridge, so go ahead and make a double batch—you’ll thank yourself tomorrow.
Lunch doesn’t have to be boring or rushed. With this Brussels sprout salad, you get something fresh, nourishing, and just elevated enough to make the middle of your day feel special.
