Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad

I disliked Brussel sprouts as a child. Mind you, I loved cabbage to the point I begged my mother to make sauerkraut almost weekly. That said, I felt validated in my sprout-loathing as the edible buds topped the most-disliked vegetable list nearly every year. Nothing changed until I married my husband, who happened to adore the little cabbages. I experimented with roasting, glazing, but this recipe is my favorite. It shines for hours on a buffet, works layered in a sandwich, but I think it’s best paired with a savory roasted entree.
