Ingredients and Variations

Brussels Sprouts – Use either pre-shredded Brussels sprouts or shred raw whole brussels sprouts yourself per the directions below. Shredded brussels sprouts can be substituted with any type of coleslaw mix.

Fruit – Red apples are sweeter, but green apples are tart and tangy – either will work in this recipe. Pomegranate seeds (arils) Dried cranberries add sweetness and can be substituted with other dried fruits.

Cheese – Feta adds a salty creamy element to this salad; goat cheese is another great addition.

Nuts – I love walnuts or pecans in this salad. Swap them for your favorite nuts or seeds like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.

Other Additions – Try adding red onion, other fruits or a sprinkle of crispy bacon.

Brussels Sprout Salad Dressing

I dress this salad with a simple honey dijon style dressing. The sweet, tangy dressing perfectly balances this shaved brussels sprout salad recipe. Honey can be switched out with maple syrup, and nearly any other vinegar (besides white) can stand in for the cider vinegar.

If you’d prefer a store-bought dressing, choose a sweet and tangy vinaigrette.
