Brussels Sprouts Salad
This healthy Brussels Sprouts Salad is made with only a handful of ingredients and with the homemade salad dressing. You can even make it ahead of time for a holiday meal or meal prep it for the week.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
For the Salad:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts outer leaves discarded + ends trimmed
- 2 medium apple of choice chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ⅓ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk well all dressing ingredients. Set aside until ready to use.
- To prepare the shaved sprouts use a food processor set with the slicing attachment or a very sharp knife.
- To a large bowl add the shaved Brussels sprouts together with the remaining ingredients, except for the pumpkin seeds.
- Pour over the dressing and using your clean hands, toss and gently massage the sprouts.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and serve.
Notes
- Apples: We suggest purchasing apples like Honeycrisp or golden delicious. We prefer sweet apples to go with the Brussels sprouts.
- Pumpkin seeds: Feel free to substitute with any nuts or seeds you have on hand.
- Parmesan cheese: Feel free to swap with any cheese you like. Goat cheese goes really well with this salad as well.
- Don't like Brussel sprouts? use spinach or kale.
- Make ahead and store the dressing separately until ready to eat
