Shaved brussels sprout salad with red onion, lemon and pecorino

Delight your taste buds with a refreshing, zesty shaved Brussels sprout salad enhanced with tangy red onion, fresh lemon, and savory pecorino cheese.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 small red onion
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups Brussels sprouts (use larger sprouts if possible)
• 1/2 cup finely grated pecorino romano

Instructions:

1. Place the onion slices in a small bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 to 20 minutes as you get the other ingredients ready.
2. Combine lemon juice, honey, mustard, a bit of salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in olive oil until the mixture becomes well blended. Put it aside.
3. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by removing any damaged outer leaves and trimming the tough root end. Use a mandoline to thinly slice the sprouts one by one. After slicing, gently separate the leaves until they resemble fine slaw.
4. Transfer the sliced sprouts to a serving bowl and delicately mix them with the now drained onions and the prepared dressing. Add the pecorino cheese, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately to maintain freshness!
