Total time: 25 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

300 g Brussels sprouts

50 g Parmesan / vegan parmesan

50 g Mayonnaise / Vegan mayonnaise

2 Garlic cloves

Lemon (juice of 1/2)

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 sprig Rosemary (chopped)

130 g Bread

Olive oil

Salt & pepper

Recipe:

  1. Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 180 C/160 fan/4gas mark. Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and place it onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season chopped rosemary, salt and pepper. Toss to combine, spread into an even layer and bake for 8-10 minutes, until browned and crisp.
  2. Make the dressing: Add the parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic, mustard and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. With the motor running, remove the inner cap on the lid and slowly pour in 4 tbsp of olive oil. Continue blending until creamy and emulsified, about 30 seconds more.
  3. Make the salad: Use a knife to chop the brussels sprouts and place in a large bowl. Add the dressing and the croutons and toss until well-coated. Transfer to serving bowls and serve.
