Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Fresh Walnuts and Pecorino

This shaved Brussels sprout salad offers a refreshing and sophisticated take on a classic winter vegetable. By finely slicing the raw sprouts, you transform their texture into a delicate, crunchy base that beautifully absorbs the bright citrus dressing. The addition of toasted walnuts provides an earthy depth, while the Pecorino Romano adds a sharp, salty finish that balances the vibrant lemon juice.

As a versatile vegetarian side dish, this recipe is perfect for autumn entertaining or as a nutritious accompaniment to a Sunday roast. It is a wonderful way to introduce raw brassicas into your diet, offering a lighter alternative to traditional boiled or roasted sprouts. For the best results, use the freshest sprouts you can find and serve the salad immediately to maintain its crisp, garden-fresh appeal.
