These greens are dressed with our favorite holiday things — figs and cheese. The saltiness of the pecorino cheese and sweetness of the figs complement each other in this soon-to-be holiday table staple.

Sang Lee Farms Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Pecorino, Dried Figs, Honey Glazed Hazelnuts and White Balsamic

Serves: 4-6 people

Active/Total Time: 25 minutes

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed
  • 1/2 cup honey glazed hazelnuts (see recipe below)
  • 1/2 cup dried figs, quartered (or 6-8 fresh figs quartered)
  • 4 Tbsp. finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/2 shallot, thinly sliced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. white balsamic glaze, plus more for finishing drizzle
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. finely ground black pepper

Using a mandoline slicer or food processor, thinly slice/shave the Brussels sprouts into a medium bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together the lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic, salt and pepper. Add the dressing mixture, pecorino cheese and the thinly sliced shallots to the Brussels sprouts. Toss to combine. Add the figs and top with the honey-glazed hazelnuts. Drizzle with additional white balsamic glaze and serve.
