Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Lemon and Pecorino
The work of shaving Brussels sprouts can be done in seconds by using the slicer blade of a food processor. Alternatively, a Japanese mandolin will do the trick. This salad is excellent the minute it's made, and just as good the next day.
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Trim off a thin slice from the bottom of the Brussels sprouts and wash well. Use the slicer blade of a food processor to shave the Brussels sprouts. Alternatively, use a Japanese mandolin to slice them very thin.
Put the Brussels sprouts, almonds, Pecorino Romano, lemon juice, olive oil and salt into a large bowl and toss well. Serve.
