Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

Have you been to Target lately? Have you seen, fell in love with and then purchased all the Hearth & Hand items from the new Chip and Joanna Gaines line? I stopped into Target last week and bought candles, the above platter and napkins, oh and a wood serving platter. I forced myself to put a few things back because I felt ridiculous and decided I’d make a second trip maybe? Not everything online was in my local Target so I’ll be placing an online order soon too.

Now this salad!!

I know there are Brussels sprout lovers and their are Brussels sprout non-lovers. I fall in the lovers camp and am always looking for new ways to serve them. Roasted Brussels sprouts is my absolute favorite, but shredded sprouts in a salad is my number two.

I dropped into my favorite local market and they had containers with the most perfect sprouts. I instantly had visions of a shaved Brussels sprout salad, adorned with ripe, juicy pears, shavings of Parmesan cheese and toasted hazelnuts.
