Brussels Sprout Slaw

Makes 6 servings

This slaw is simple to assemble, but big on flavor. The richness of the mayo and acidity from the juice helps to balance the strong, salty flavors of the fish sauce for a dish that perfectly complements grilled meat, fish, and veggies.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2/3 cup chopped raw peanuts
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Remove any brown leaves from the outside of the Brussels sprouts and trim the bottoms. Using a slicing knife, stainless-steel French mandoline, or plastic Benriner mandoline, thinly slice each sprout, starting at the top and working toward the bottom. You will need about 6 cups of sliced Brussels sprouts.
  2. Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar in a bowl. Mix to incorporate, then stir in the peanuts, scallions, and cilantro. Toss the dressing with the Brussels sprouts. Refrigerate the slaw until chilled and serve.
