Method

For the Lemon Vinaigrette

Whisk fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl for about 1 minute until smooth and aromatic.
Slowly drizzle extra virgin olive oil while whisking vigorously for about 1 minute until the vinaigrette emulsifies into a smooth, glossy dressing.

For the Salad

Toss thinly shaved Brussels sprouts with toasted walnuts, Parmesan, and dried cranberries in a large bowl until ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss for 30 seconds until every ribbon glistens with flavor.
Plate the salad and finish by sprinkling extra nuts, cheese, or a pinch of lemon zest for a beautiful, fresh presentation.

Sprinkle extra Parmesan or seeds for added crunch. Always taste before serving stored salad; if flavors have faded, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten it up again.
