Brussels Sprouts Salad (Whole30, Paleo)

This salad filled with brussels sprouts, cranberries, and apples delivers the most beautiful amounts of crunchy fresh flavors! Evenly coated in a delicious and silky oil-based dressing, this salad is packed with the perfect balance of naturally sweet and tangy flavors.

Why This Recipe Is So Good

• This salad is sooo good because of the fresh and raw ingredients!
• The perfect amount of sweet, yet savory flavors are compiled in this salad.
• This brussels sprouts salad is non–dairy and perfect for the paleo or Whole30 diet.

Are Brussels Sprouts Healthy?

Brussels sprouts are filled with all sorts of nutrition. Not only are brussels sprouts rich with antioxidants, but they are also high in fiber, vitamin K, and contain healthy omega-3s!

We really like this salad because it is also filled with apples, cranberries, and apple-cider vinegar which also have amazing benefits! Apples contain important antioxidants, flavonoids, and fiber! With cranberries that act as superfoods, this salad is really just jam-packed with all things nutritious and good.

Chef’s Tips

• If on Whole30, be sure to use a compliant dijon mustard that does not contain white wine.
• We used dehydrated cranberries for this recipe.
• Spruce things up by adding nuts or seeds to this salad!
• The vinaigrette will definitely separate, but just give it a shake.

Will this salad be good if left in the refrigerator?

Yes, this salad is great as a leftovers recipe! Just store the brussels sprouts salad in an airtight container. In the fridge, the salad will be good for about three or four days.

Instructions 

• Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. In a medium bowl, combine them with the remaining ingredients.
• Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before tasting and adjusting the seasonings as needed. If desired, finish with an additional drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

• Save time by using a bag of pre-shredded sprouts from the store.
• If you’ve got a bunch of side dishes to prepare at once (this salad would be perfect for your holiday table!) toss the apples with a little lemon juice to slow down browning and to keep them nice and fresh!
• While this salad is best in the 15 minute-1 hour window after it is made, any leftovers will still be super taste for another 2-3 days.
