Shaved Brussels Sprout Spicy Caesar Salad with Crispy Capers

Steps

1. 1

   Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and use a mandolin (with a safety glove) to shave them into very thin ribbons. Place the shaved sprouts into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained and dried capers and fry for 3-5 minutes until they burst open and become crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

   Toss the salad thoroughly until every ribbon of Brussels sprout is well-coated in the dressing.

   Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the crispy fried capers and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
