Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

Cook:15min

Brussels sprouts – If you can, buy brussels on the stalk (they have the most flavor) Sunflower seeds – Opt for roasted sunflower seeds versus raw for a nice crunch (you can also substitute with pine nuts, chopped walnuts or pecans, pumpkin seeds, or slivered almonds) Dried cranberries – Cranberries add a nice tang, but raisins also work Honeycrisp apple – Honeycrisp apples add a nice punch of tart and sweet (you can also use Fuji or your favorite crisp apple) Parmesan cheese – Parmesan shredded straight off the block has the most flavor (feta cheese, blue cheese, and shaved romano are great options as well) Chives – definitely opt for fresh chives (not dried)
