Brussels Sprout Salad is a refreshing dish that features shredded Brussels sprouts paired with a tangy vinaigrette, toasted nuts, and dried fruit. This crunchy, vibrant salad is a perfect balance of textures and flavors, making it a great side dish or light main course.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb (about 4 cups) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced
  2. 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or almonds, roughly chopped
  3. 1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  4. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  5. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  6. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  7. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  8. 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  9. Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the Brussels sprouts and slice them thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the shredded Brussels sprouts in a large bowl.

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the Brussels sprouts and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  3. Add nuts and dried fruit: Add the toasted walnuts or almonds and dried cranberries (or raisins) to the salad, and toss again to combine.
  4. Add cheese: If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the salad.
  5. Let the salad sit: Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled option.

Notes

  1. Add protein by topping with grilled chicken, bacon bits, or chickpeas.
  2. For a vegan version, omit Parmesan and use maple syrup in the dressing.
  3. Try adding fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or dill for added flavor.
  4. For extra crunch, consider adding sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
