Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad

I realized when I posted my Steakhouse Salad Recipe recently how much I’ve neglected my salad lovers! It has just taken off with 9,000 shares and counting. Shame on me, that won’t happen again, I promise!

At heart, I’m definitely a soup and salad kinda gal. Casual comfort food is probably one of the BEST ways to describe my blog, wouldn’t you agree?  Yes, I think so too!

So having said that… I have a new salad for you today! This shaved brussel sprout salad with Lemon Vinaigrette is a tasty crunchy salad! It’s delicious because you can top it with your favorite fruit and a creamy salad dressing.

Brussels Sprout Salad

Grocery list for Brussel Sprout Salad

• Brussels sprouts
• kale salad mix
• red onion
• peach
• pomegranate arils

For the Vinaigrette

• Greek yogurt
• fresh lemon juice
• olive oil
• parsley
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder

You can certainly take a shortcut and purchase a premade salad dressing – no judgment! If you do, get one that is creamy and citrus based or even coleslaw dressing! Those flavors compliment this salad mix.

How to shave brussels sprouts?

1. If you’re using a stalk of sprouts, simply break each sprout off the stalk and clean well. (For tips on how to clean and store brussels, click here.)
2. With a knife – slice the sprout in half and with a sharp knife, thinly slice until you reach the stem or core. Discard the core
3. With a food processor – Clean the sprouts well. Remove and discard the core. Use the slicing blade and feed the sprouts into the tube pulsing the machine to process. Avoid overprocessing.
4. With a mandolin – this is the best way to thinly shred the sprouts, but also the most dangerous. It’s so easy to cut yourself! If you do use a mandolin, protect your fingers with a slice-proof glove. They are inexpensive, no reason not to have them if you use a mandolin. Using a mandolin, set the blade to a thin cut and hold the end of the sprout and carefully shred. Discard when you reach to core.

Shortcut tip! Purchase a bag of pre-shredded sprouts at the store. Just to be sure to check the sell-by date so they are fresh.

Seasonal change-ups for the fruit on this salad

• Spring – mango, apricots, pineapple or strawberries
• Summer – blackberries, blueberries strawberries and peaches
• Fall – apples, dried cranberries, grapes and figs
• Winter – dried cranberries, persimmons, segmented oranges or mandarins

Roasted butternut squash, creamy chunks of avocado, walnuts, pecans or almond slivers are always a great addition to this salad!

How do you make brussels sprout salad?

1. Clean all of the vegetables well
2. Shred the sprouts

4. Add all of the ingredients to a salad bowl
5. Top with fruit

Don’t feel like making your own salad dressing? No judgment! I’ve even used the premade salad dressing that comes right in the kale salad kit, delicious!
