How to Make Shredded Brussels Sprouts
For this shredded Brussels sprouts salad, you can simply pick up a package of shaved or shredded Brussels from the grocery store or shred you own.
To shred your own, you can use a food processor, mandoline, or a sharp knife.
Ingredients you need:
After you have your shaved brussels sprouts, you can add in all of the other ingredients.
- Raw or roasted walnuts
- Pears
- Vegan feta, we like Violife
For the Dressing:
- Dijon mustard
- Lemon
- Garlic
- Olive oil or avocado oil
- Maple syrup or preferred sticky liquid sweetener
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to make Brussel Sprouts Salad
- Make the Dressing: Add the dressing ingredients to a bowl or a jar. Whisk or shake until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Toast the Walnuts: If using raw walnuts, toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until toasted and fragrant. Set aside.
- Assemble the Salad: Thinly slice the pears then add them to the salad along with the walnuts and crumbled feta.
Store in fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps to build flavor and soften the Brussels sprouts. Top with more nuts, seeds & nutritional yeast, if desired.
Make-ahead Tips
- You can shred the brussels sprouts up to 2 days in advance. Keep them in a Ziploc bag or container in the fridge until ready to assemble the salad.
- You can also make the dressing up to four days in advance. Keep in the fridge until ready to use. Whisk well before dressing the salad.
This salad is the perfect combination of sweet, salty, crunchy, tangy and the perfect side dish for any meal! It’s also low carb, paleo and keto-friendly, Whole30 compliant, dairy-free, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan.
