- 1.5 lb brussels sprouts
- 3 anchovies
- 1 egg yolk

- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Using a mandolin, finely shred all the brussels sprouts and set aside.

Notes
If not eating right away, leave the dressing off and then add before eating. Or you could leave it dressed in your fridge for 1 to 2 days.
Meal prep by making the dressing ahead of time and shredding the brussels sprouts.
