This recipe is so, so, so quick and this salad makes an excellent side dish to a steak or other meaty dish.
I never thought I’d ever say this, but I love brussels sprouts … even though I have to write “brussels” like it’s a plural every time and it drives me crazy. I’m being bratty in my title because I know that people spell it incorrectly when they look for a recipe like this. That’s the perk of being an online marketing analyst by day and a food blogger by night.
Anyway… it’s taking me some time to acquire a taste for cooked brussels sprouts, but in raw form, I’m loving them. This shaved brussels sprout salad recipe is a new favorite side dish to go with steak.
Today I’m working in apples without actually working in apples. Meet our cheat: apple cider vinegar.
You’ll be able to make two sides of this salad with this recipe, or one meal salad. I think it makes a more interesting side than a main dish. I also had it as a snack tonight, so you can do that too!

- 1 tbsp shredded parmesan
- salt

Steps:
- First, wash your brussels sprouts.
- Next, cut your brussels sprouts in half, the long way, cutting through the root. Don’t cut the root off just yet, it’s what holds all the leaves together.

- Toss into a bowl to mix and break up by hand.
- Add apple cider, oil, salt, and pepper, and mix together.
- Now, sprinkle with your parmesan cheese and mix that together.
- Serve and enjoy!
