What each ingredient does

- Add sweetness and a soft, tender bite that contrasts with the sprouts.
- Lemon shaker dressing
- Adds acidity and moisture that flavour the vegetables as they chill.
The step that matters
Cook the Brussels sprouts until crisp but tender. Overcooking breaks down the sprouts' cell walls and releases sulfur compounds, leaving them soft and bitter. Stopping when they are just tender keeps their texture and mild flavour through the chilling time.
