  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

⅓ cup olive oil

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

12 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

46 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

  1. 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.
  2. Shred the Brussels sprouts using a food processor or a sharp knife. Add them to a large bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded Brussels sprouts and toss using tongs. Let sit for about 30 minutes to marinate.
  4. While the Brussels sprouts marinate, prep the chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, and cheese.
  5. After marinating, add the chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, provolone cheese, and parmesan to the Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to combine.
  6. 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.
