Ingredients
  

  • cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and outer leaves removed
  • 1 can (15 ounce) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 4-6 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami, cut in half or julienned
  • 1 ½ cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup pitted sliced Kalamata or black olives
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoncinis
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cubed provolone cheese
  • ¼ cup shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • Food processor
  • Large bowl
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar or honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  2. Using a food processor fitted with the slicing attachment, pulse the trimmed Brussels sprouts until they are thinly sliced. If you do not have a food processor, carefully thinly slice the Brussels sprouts with a sharp knife.
  3. Transfer the shredded Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and pour the prepared dressing over them. Use tongs to thoroughly coat the Brussels sprouts with the dressing. Let the mixture marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. While the Brussels sprouts marinate, chop and prep the chickpeas, salami, cherry tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, provolone cheese, and parmesan cheese.
  5. Add the chickpeas, salami, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, red onion, cubed provolone, and shaved parmesan to the marinated Brussels sprouts. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
  6. Serve the salad immediately, adding extra freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the Genoa salami with pepperoni or turkey for a lighter option. You can also add nuts like walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch or toss in some fresh herbs for brightness. Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The flavors deepen over time, but for best texture, enjoy it fresh.
