Ingredients

Shaved Brussels Sprouts: The main ingredient of the salad, Brussels sprouts are thinly shaved (or finely sliced) to create a lighter texture that still retains their distinct flavor. This preparation makes them less bitter and more enjoyable in a salad form.
Parmesan Cheese: Freshly shaved or grated parmesan cheese adds a rich, salty flavor that complements the Brussels sprouts.
Candied Pecans: Sweet, crunchy candied pecans are added to the salad for a contrast in texture and a touch of sweetness.
Cranberries (or Dried Fruit): Dried cranberries, or occasionally other dried fruits, are used to add a tart sweetness that pairs well with the savory ingredients.
Lemon Vinaigrette: The salad is typically dressed with a lemon vinaigrette, which provides a bright, zesty flavor and a slight acidity to balance the richness of the cheese and nuts.
Olive Oil: Used in the vinaigrette or as part of the dressing, olive oil provides a smooth and healthy fat element to the salad.

Allergens

Dairy: The salad contains parmesan cheese, which is a dairy product. Those who are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy should either request no cheese or inquire about a dairy-free alternative.
Nuts: Candied pecans are included, which may be a concern for those with nut allergies.
Gluten: The salad itself is naturally gluten-free, but it’s always a good idea to confirm if the dressing or any other ingredients contain gluten or if there’s any cross-contamination in the kitchen.
Soy: Some dressings or processed ingredients might contain soy-based components, so it’s advisable to check with the restaurant if you have a soy allergy.
Eggs: Some dressings, particularly creamy ones, may contain eggs, so if you’re avoiding eggs, it’s best to confirm with the server.

Recommendations

For a lighter option: If you’re looking to reduce the calorie and fat content, you can request the dressing on the side so you can control the amount used. Opting for a lighter dressing like a balsamic vinaigrette can also help.
For added protein: This salad can easily be made into a more substantial meal by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon. These proteins will enhance the flavor and make the salad more filling.
Pairing Suggestions:
- For a side dish, the Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad pairs well with lighter entrées like grilled fish or chicken. It can also be a great accompaniment to heavier dishes, providing a refreshing contrast.
- If you’re looking for a drink to complement the salad, a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé would pair nicely with the bright, tangy flavors of the vinaigrette and the nuttiness of the pecans.
- For those seeking a fuller meal, consider pairing the salad with a Caesar Salad or a House Salad to add variety.
Vegetarian Option: This salad can be enjoyed as a vegetarian dish if you choose to exclude any animal-based proteins. If you are looking for extra protein without meat, consider adding more cheese or legumes like chickpeas.
Gluten-sensitive guests: Always double-check the ingredients of the dressing and any other potential sources of gluten. The salad itself is naturally gluten-free, but modifications may be necessary based on dietary needs.
