Shallot lemon vinaigrette drizzled over this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with grated parmesan, pomegranate and toasted bread crumbs.
Perfect as a side dish, yet hearty enough for a vegetarian main dish. Brussels Sprouts really hold up to this shallot lemon vinaigrette, making this a great dish for gatherings. You’ll want to add the vinaigrette 15 minutes before serving to allow the brussels sprouts to completely absorb all the flavor, saving the pomegranate seeds, parmesan and seasoned breadcrumbs until just before serving.
