Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples is a crisp, refreshing salad featuring thinly sliced raw Brussels sprouts, sweet apples, crunchy nuts, and a tangy honey-Dijon dressing. It’s a vibrant, nutrient-rich dish perfect as a side or light vegetarian main, especially in fall and winter.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1 crisp apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (to prevent apple browning)
  • 1/3 cup toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta (optional)
  • 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onion or shallot (optional)

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Core and slice the apple thinly, then toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shaved Brussels sprouts, sliced apple, nuts, dried cranberries, cheese, and green onion or shallot, if using.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  5. Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the sprouts to soften slightly.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or food processor with a slicing blade for quick and even shaving of Brussels sprouts.
  • This salad is best after resting for 15–30 minutes.
  • Add grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to turn it into a complete meal.
