Instructions

First make the dressing. Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously to combine. Or you can whisk everything together in a bowl. Set aside.
To shave brussels sprouts, cut the stem off and cut them in half, discarding any tough outer leaves. . Use a sharp knife and thinly slice the brussels sprouts into thin shavings.
Add 3-4 tablespoons of vinaigrette, 3/4 of the pistachios (saving some for garnish) and most of the shaved cheese (saving some for garnish). Toss everything together gently and allow to sit for a few minutes so dressing can absorb. (You can also let it sit for a few hours if you’re not worried about wilting).
Plate salad in wide bowl and garnish with more Pecorino cheese and pistachios.
