I love to cook, and I love to take pictures. Voila - a food blog!

Named after my closely held belief that almost any dish becomes tastier with lemon + salt. 

Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Grapefruit, Toasted Almonds, Crisp Prosciutto and Goat Cheese

Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Grapefruit, Toasted Almonds, Crisp Prosciutto and Goat Cheese

Adapted from this Fine Cooking recipe.

  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, shredded in a food processor or thinly sliced by hand
  • 1 grapefruit, sliced into segments, each segment halved crosswise
  • 3 Tbsp slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1 Tbsp chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh goat cheese, crumbled

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp, about 5minutes, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk the walnut oil, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the sprouts and blanch until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl, and cool to room temperature. Add the grapefruit segments, nuts, chives, and goat cheese and gently toss with the vinaigrette. Transfer to a serving bowl, crumble the prosciutto over the top, and serve.
