This warm, lemony brussels sprout salad with parmesan, capers, and pine nuts is a bright, delicious side dish that is perfect for spring or Easter! (vegetarian, gluten-free)
If you haven’t picked up on my love for brussels sprouts yet, you may be hiding under a rock. I can’t get enough, and neither can Mr. Table. I pick up a big bag of them at least once a week at the grocery store.
Besides being high in fiber, Vitamins K and C, and cancer-fighting antioxidants, brussels sprouts are so versatile. Yep, the vegetable you loathed as a kid can actually be really delicious and prepared so many ways!
While I adore crispy roasted brussels sprouts any time of year, I thought I’d switch these guys up with a brighter dish for spring. This warm shaved brussels sprout salad is the perfect vegetable side dish for all of your spring meals, and would make a great addition to your Easter or Mother’s day menu.
I love the combination of fresh lemon and parmesan, so I added both to this delicious brussels sprout salad. Toasted pine nuts add a nice nutty crunch, while just a touch of capers ties the dish together with a bit of savory brine. The whole salad comes together in less than 10 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners with some grilled fish, chicken or other meat.
