Fall in love with our Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad: a symphony of shaved sprouts, pecans, apples, and pomegranate, bathed in homemade Citrusy Vinaigrette.

Crunchy, fresh, and full of fall flavors, this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad recipe makes a great holiday side or a seasonal, healthy lunch. The sweet citrus dressing perfectly balances the bitter crunch of the sprout.

We eat Roasted Brussels Sprouts so often as a side dish. But did you know they make a deliciously crunchy and flavorful salad? In the winter months it's difficult to find fresh local greens at the market, so using more hearty vegetables (like Brussels Sprouts) is a better option. Slicing them thin and tossing them with sweet, crunchy apples and pomegranate seeds is easy and satisfying.

Serve it with: Bee Sting Pizza, Chicken Piccata, or Tagliatelle with Mushrooms

FAQ

How do you shave Brussels sprouts?

We recommend carefully slicing them thin with a sharp knife. You can also use a food processor with a slicing disk attachment.

Is it safe to eat raw Brussels sprouts? 

Yes! Unlike other vegetables and legumes, Brussels sprouts don’t contain some of the common anti-nutrients that cause digestive issues. Shaving them thin does make them easier to eat.
