Updated on Nov 15, 2012

This uncooked sprout "slaw" is crunchy, salty, sweet and nutty. Uncooked brussels sprouts have a mild taste, so give this a try! It's from Maria of 'Two Peas and Their Pod'. If you don't like blue cheese/pecans/cranberries you could change it up...say dried cherries/blueberries and toasted almonds/walnuts with goat cheese/feta-use what you like!

How To Make brussels sprouts salad

  • Step 1
    Rinse brussels sprouts and remove any damaged or dirty outer leaves. Place on a cutting board and slice off the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the brussels sprouts. When you're done, use your fingers to gently separate the leaves so that the shredded sprouts resemble a very fine slaw. Place in a large bowl. Add the toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and blue cheese(crumbles) to the chopped brussels sprouts. Note-you can also use a mandoline or food processor to chop the brussels sprouts.
  • Step 2
    make the dressing. In a small jar, add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Put a lid on the jar and shake until mixed well.
  • Step 3
    When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all of the ingredients are well coated. Serve immediately.
