Ingredients
⅓ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1–2 teaspoons sugar or honey
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and outer leaves removed
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4–6 oz thinly sliced Genoa salami, cut in half or julienned
1 ½ cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup pitted sliced Kalamata or sliced black olives
¼ cup sliced pepperoncinis
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup cubed provolone cheese
¼ cup shaved or shredded parmesan
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar or honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
- Shred the Brussels sprouts using a food processor or a sharp knife. Add them to a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded Brussels sprouts and toss using tongs. Let sit for about 30 minutes to marinate.
- While the Brussels sprouts marinate, prep the chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, and cheese.
- After marinating, add the chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, provolone cheese, and parmesan to the Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately with extra freshly ground black pepper on top.
Notes
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the salami.
- You can add other vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or carrots for extra crunch.
- Provolone can be substituted with mozzarella or crumbled feta for a different flavor.
- For added spice, consider adding red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
