The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook To make Brussels sprouts shine in a salad, we needed to get rid of some of their vegetal rawness. Rather than cooking the sprouts, we sliced them very thin and then marinated them in a bright vinaigrette made with lemon juice and Dijon mustard. The 30-minute soak in the acidic dressing softened and seasoned the sprouts, bringing out and balancing their flavor. Toasted pine nuts and shredded Pecorino Romano added to our salad just before serving added a layer of crunch and nutty richness. Slice the sprouts as thinly as possible. Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the Pecorino Romano.
