I was never a great lover of Brussel Sprouts, to tell the truth I only started to love vegetables when I arrived in Italy and tasted the way my mother-in-law and other Italians made vegetables. And that meant not just boiled and plopped on a plate!

It is amazing what a little drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt can do to a vegetable. And that includes boring limp spinach to some fresh picked Green Beans from the garden!

And yes it is true Brussel Sprouts actually do get their name from Belgium!  They were cultivated there from as early as the 13th century.

How to make a Brussel Sprout Salad

  • Shred the Brussel Sprouts with either a shredder or Food Processor.
  • In a large bowl add the shredded sprouts, cooked cubed bacon or pancetta and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
  • In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese, yellow mustard, minced garlic, salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the shredded sprouts and toss together. So good!

I’m trying to get into Summer Cooking but even in Italy it is a little tough, we are having quite the rainy season. It’s makes me want to make a comfy Beef Stew instead.

But I decided to give a Shredded Brussel Sprout Salad a try after trying it for the first time at a wonderful friend’s house back home. I thought what a great idea a Brussel Sprout salad was instead of the regular Coleslaw Salad.

A few days later I happened to be  checking out Canadian Living‘s Salad Magazine and saw the recipe for a Shredded Brussel Sprout Salad and knew I had to give it a try. I changed it up a bit. And I have to say it is really delicious.

Who would have known shredded Brussel Sprouts could taste so good.

So if you are looking for something a little different in a salad either as a side dish, or even main dish I really think you will enjoy this Shredded Brussel Sprout Salad with Bacon and Parmesan Cheese. Buon Appetito!
