Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 4 cups brussel sprouts 
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup cranberries
  • feta cheese for garnish

For the Dressing:

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • Himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

Make the Salad:

  • Start by shredding raw brussels sprouts. So, peel back the outer leaves of each sprout and cut brussels sprouts in half.
  • After that, place the sprouts horizontally, hold onto the stem of each sprout and slice the sprouts as thin as possible on the cutting board.
  • Gently separate the shreds from each of the layers until they are all apart.
  • Place the shredded slices in a medium bowl then add the dried cranberries and walnuts.

Make the Dressing:

  • In a separate small bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients. Then, adjust the seasoning to your preference and whisk well the bowl.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Pour over the dressing on the shredded brussels slices with nuts and cranberries and then gently mix the bowl.
  • Sprinkle with feta cheese as an appetizing garnish and serve this perfect salad!

Notes

Top Tips:
  • Try to shred brussels sprouts in very thin slices for the better taste because thick slices will make the salad hard to chew.
  • You can shread brussels sprouts with a food processor, mandolin slicer, or a sharp knife. All of these ways work just perfect
  • If you decide to use maple syrup, then you need to add a little more since it's less sweet than honey.
  • For a more special taste, you can slightly toast the walnuts! Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then spread walnuts out on a baking sheet and toast in oven until slightly browned, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  • Feel free to use parmesan or goat cheese instead of feta!
  • You can add any nuts or seeds you have on hand: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or even pine seeds!
  • Don’t have brussels sprouts at the moment? Feel free to use spinach or kale!
