INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
1/4 cup pecorino or romano cheese, grated
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound small Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved, and sliced into fat slivers
Slivered toasted almonds (optional)

PREPARATION

• In a bowl, stir together the warm water, olive oil, cheeses, and a few good grinds of pepper. It should be an “emulsified slurry.” If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water and oil in equal parts. The oil and water, which usually don’t mix, are held together by the grated cheese.
• Add the Brussels sprouts, and toss until they’re well coated.
• Add almonds (optional).
• Taste and add more pepper, if you like, and serve. Serves 2–3.

Cook’s note: This salad truly depends on the quality of ingredients. I always make it with the best cheeses and olive oil. The ingredients can really make or break this salad!
