Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Fresh Walnuts and Pecorino

Recipe By :Adapted from Jonathan Waxman

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts -- (preferably on the stalk), any discolored leaves discarded and stems left intact
1 cup walnuts -- (3 1/2 oz), lightly toasted
2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano -- or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Holding each Brussels sprout by stem end, cut into very thin slices using an adjustable-blade slicer. Toss in a bowl to separate layers.

Lightly crush walnuts with your hands and add to Brussels sprouts along with cheese, oil, and lemon juice, then toss to combine. Season with pepper.

Yield: Makes 6 side-dish servings
Active Time: 25 min
Total Time: 35 min

Cooks' notes:Walnuts can be toasted 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Brussels sprouts can be sliced 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Toss with remaining ingredients just before serving.

Brussels sprouts, sliced very thin, result in an unbelievably delicate slaw. If you have a really sharp knife and good skills, you could slice the Brussels sprouts by hand, but it's much easier to use an adjustable-blade slicer. Since walnuts are fresh and in season, Waxman uses just-shelled ones in this salad. Pecorino Romano varies in saltiness; you may want to add a little more than we call for here.
