1 | Trim the outer leaves off 600 g Brussels sprouts, then rinse. |  |
2 | Slice the sprouts very thinly (the ideal way is with a mandolin, but a sharp knife will do fine) and put in a salad bowl. |  |
3 | Add the chopped parsley and the zest of half the lemon. |  |
4 | Add 20 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), grated or in shavings made with a vegetable peeler. |  |
5 | Mix together. |  |
6 | Squeeze 1 lemon, add salt, pepper and 5 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well. |  |
7 | Pour over the salad and mix again.
Your Brussels sprout salad is ready. |  |
If you use a knife to slice the sprouts, cut them in half first to make it easier.
It is worth trying this with lime instead of lemon for a very different flavour.
