This Shaved Brussel Spouts and Parmesan Salad Recipe is really easy to make and a really fun side dish to serve with chicken, fish, pork or beef! I love it so much, and it is a really nice departure from the usual little tossed green salad that you usually find served with a nice, fat juicy steak.
Why We love this Shaved Brussel Spouts and Parmesan Salad
I absolutely adore Brussels Sprouts! It is a vegetable that my parent's never served us while I was growing up...maybe the frozen kind once or twice? All I know is that the first time someone shoved a plate full of brussels sprouts in front of my face, I was like WTF is this fresh hell?
But then I took a bite. And then I fell in love. And then I ate a second helping...and then I began to cook them constantly for my own family!
Why not this Shaved Brussel Spouts & Parmesan Salad Recipe and mashed potatoes? YUM!
I know that most South Florida residents hate the summer, as it usually feels like we are walking on the surface of the sun...but I actually love it!
I don't mind the heat, as long as I have a WORKING air conditioner in both my home and car...and lots of ice cold water to drink! I am that weirdo that actually doesn't mind sweating - I just make sure to wear plenty of deodorant. Ha ha!

Can I make this Shaved Brussel Spouts & Parmesan Salad Recipe ahead of time?
You can bake up this easy Shaved Brussel Spouts & Parmesan Salad Recipe and store it in your fridge or an air tight sealed container a day ahead - anything longer than that and the cheese will get kind of runny and mushy.
We used to have a big - and I do mean BIG - above ground pool in our backyard, but the maintenance was just a killer! My ex husband used to clean it every day and replenish the chemicals every other weekend or so. It was a lot of work considering that it was basically just me floating around in it during the afternoons.
We did have pool parties, but as my ex husband traveled 50% of the month, they weren't often enough to really warrant the upkeep...so when it began to crack and get leaks, we decided to just let it go and remove it.
So now when I host backyard gatherings, there isn't exactly anything cool and refreshing to DO to keep my guests cool and entertained. That's why a ncie refreshing side dish and plenty of cold, refreshing drinks are so important to have on hand!
Of course, this Shaved Brussels Sprouts & Parmesan Salad recipe isn't just the perfect side dish for a gathering with your friends this summer! It is also a great little salad to whip up for yourself on a hot summer afternoon, or to take along on a picnic or a long day at the beach.
Without any dairy in it, like with most pasta salad recipes, it is perfect to stick in the cooler and serve up and nice chilly once everyone begins to feel that summer heat bearing down on them!
