I'm obsessed with this Brussel Sprout Salad! It's hearty, healthy and SO tasty. It's easy to make with finely shredded brussel sprouts, sweet dried cranberries and crunchy slivered almonds, all tossed in a delicious homemade dressing. The perfect fall and winter salad that would make a great addition to your holiday table.

Ingredients

For the Dressing:

½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Juice of one lemon about 2 tablespoons
Juice of one orange about ¼ of a cup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar +1 more tablespoon if desired
1 shallot minced (can sub for 4 cloves of minced garlic)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
pepper to taste

For the salad:

½ cup dried cranberries
2 pounds brussels sprouts ends trimmed*
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated - optional, Violife is my favorite vegan option! (can also sub for ½ cup of nutritional yeast)

Instructions

Make the dressing by combining all of the ingredients and whisking until fully combined. Set aside.
Using a shredding attachment on your food processor OR using a mandoline, carefully shred the brussels sprouts into very thin strips. If you don’t have either of those, you can very thinly slice them with a knife but be mindful that you really want to get them as thin as possible.
Place the brussel sprouts in a large bowl, pour the dressing over the top and toss. Add in the cranberries, almonds, and parmesan and toss once more to fully combine. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To prep the salad ahead of time, you can make the salad as written BUT do not pour on the dressing. Wait to add the dressing when you’re ready to actually eat the salad. If making for a party or holiday, you can make the salad and the dressing a couple days in advance and just keep them separate.
A lot of stores sell pre-shredded brussel sprouts and that’s a great avenue to avoid having to shred them yourself.
