Crispy Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipe With White Balsamic Vinaigrette Salads Vegetables Side Dishes

This crispy shaved brussels sprouts salad recipe was inspired by a restaurant meal I had recently. I've found that one of the ways to get inspired in the kitchen is by trying to recreate your favorite restaurant meals. I don't eat at restaurants nearly as often as I used to, so going out is more of a treat (and inspiration) than ever. 

That's why this crispy brussels sprouts salad recipe was so much fun to recreate at home. The crispiness of the sprout leaves is addictive (bonus that brussels sprouts are so good for you). This recipe makes a great vegetable side dish, or you can serve it with a protein (or a side of skinny Parmesan fries, like I did!) to make it more of a full lunch or dinner.

Here's how to make it:
