Tips

Trim the ends, wash and thinly slice and rough chop or use slice attachment on your food processor.

Substitutions

Want to customize this recipe a bit? Feel free to…

  • Add avocado: My best suggestion? Add some diced avocado to this salad for an extra creamy twist — delicious!
  • Add apple: a tasty twist on this salad is to add in a chopped honey crisp apple.
  • Use pomegranates: In place of (or in addition to) dried cranberries, some fresh pomegranate arils would be beautiful in this salad!
  • Use different nuts/seeds: In place of pecans, feel free to use sliced or slivered almonds, walnuts, pepitas or sunflower seeds.
  • Add bacon: For an extra delicious twist, feel free to add in some chopped cooked bacon. YUM.

Can you eat brussels sprouts raw?

Yes you sure can! Brussels sprouts aren’t just for roasting they’re wonderful in coleslaws and make a nice change from using cabbage and broccoli like this salad recipe!

Can this salad be made ahead?

Absolutely! Just keep the salad and dressing separate in the fridge until needed. If you’re adding apple, chop the apple and add the dressing just before serving.
