If you think you do not like brussel sprouts, this recipe might just change your mind. Thinly shaving them turns them into a crunchy, delicious base for a salad that stays crisp even after you dress it.

I love making this for family dinners or bringing it to potlucks because it looks beautiful on the table. My favorite tip is to use a mandoline to get the sprouts extra thin so they soak up all that lovely dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh brussel sprouts, trimmed and thinly shaved
  • 1 crisp apple, diced
  • 1/2 cup candied walnuts or pecans
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim the ends off the brussel sprouts and remove any tough outer leaves, then slice them into very thin shreds using a knife or a mandoline.

  2. 2

    Place the shredded sprouts in a large mixing bowl and add the diced apple, candied nuts, and dried cranberries.

  3. 3

    In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything well to combine.

  5. 5

    Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste before serving.

💡 Tips

You can prep the shredded sprouts and dressing a few hours ahead, but wait to add the dressing until just before you are ready to eat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. This salad pairs perfectly with roasted chicken or pork.
