Shredded Brussels sprouts, fruit, nuts, and cheese are tossed with a bright and tangy vinaigrette.
A Crisp & Crunchy Salad
Just prep, dress, and toss, Brussel sprout salad is delicious as a side or lunch. Raw Brussels sprouts taste similar to coleslaw mix but slightly sweeter. This salad recipe stays crispy and crunchy longer than regular greens, so it’s perfect to make a day ahead.
Ingredients for Brussels Sprout Salad
Brussels Sprouts – Many stores sell shaved Brussels sprouts but you can also shred raw whole Brussels sprouts yourself (directions below). Replace Brussels sprouts with any type of coleslaw mix. Fruit – Red apples are sweeter while green apples are tart and tangy – either will work. Pomegranate seeds (arils) and dried cranberries add sweetness. Cheese – Feta is both salty and creamy and can be replaced with goat cheese or shaved parmesan cheese. Nuts – I love walnuts, pecans, or almonds in this salad. If you’d like to make this nut-free, try pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. Other Additions – Try adding red onion or a sprinkle of crispy bacon.
The Dressing
The dressing for this salad is very simple. It’s sweet and tangy – and perfect on a shaved Brussels sprouts salad. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup. If you’d prefer a store-bought dressing, choose a sweet and tangy vinaigrette or even coleslaw dressing.

Tips for Brussels Sprouts Salad
If you shred your own Brussels, they can be rinsed and will last a week in the fridge before preparing the salad.
