Fit-Into-Your-Gown Brussels Sprouts Salad–One of That’s So Jenn’s most popular recipes!
- Ingredients
- For salad
24 oz. brussels sprouts, shredded
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped hazelnuts (use sunflower seeds for nut allergy)
For dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white truffle oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Instructions
- If unable to find pre-shredded brussels sprouts in store, rinse whole brussels sprouts and pat dry. Cut off tips. Remove any outer leaves that look less than desirable. Attach the ‘shred’ blade on your food processor. Pulse brussels sprouts through until confetti is formed.
Transfer to a large bowl and add parmesan cheese and hazelnuts. Stir.
In another bowl, mix together olive oil, truffle oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper.

Encore Mini Waffles with Gold Star Sprinkles
- Instructions
- 1 box frozen mini waffles (plain or flavor of choice)
1 pint ice cream
Chocolate syrup
Gold star sprinkles
