Brussels Sprouts are one of Mary Jo’s favorite vegetables and they are showing up on menus more and more these days, usually cut in half and roasted as an appetizer. In this recipe, I shave them finely on a Mandoline and toss them with red apples, red onions and a Green Apple-Maple dressing. Mandoline’ s are essential in the kitchen to achieve a fine slice or efficient julienne, however, they are one of the most dangerous tools that home cooks use. Take your time, use the safety hand guard (or cut resistant gloves) and be careful.
