Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad is easy, delicious and versatile. Brussels sprouts are so good raw if properly shaved thin and dressed in an apple cider vinaigrette.

This is the perfect salad to bring to a party or serve with a rich or fatty meat, and it can be made in advance.

To add a bit of heft, I added in some kale, which gives a beautiful darker green contrast.

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

To add a bit of sweet, I added in some gala apple. You can make this more tart by adding in a granny smith apple.

To add a change in texture, I added in some golden raisins. You can skip this or replace with cranberries or dried cherries. If you want to skip the sugar, you can skip the dried fruit.

To add more flavor and crunch, I added in some toasted almonds. You can change the nut to pistachios, hazelnuts, or even peanuts.

To make this exciting, I added in shaved pecorino romano, adding saltiness and tang.

The important part of this recipe is shaving the brussels or using a very sharp knife to slice the brussels quite thin. I use this inexpensive mandolin from OXO to do the job. Be careful though and use the holder.

The other important part is the acidic vinaigrette. This you need to keep.

More Salads with Brussel Sprouts

This is not the first time I put brussels sprouts into a salad with kale. This recipe makes the brussels sprouts the star, but here’s a winter kale salad with a smattering of brussels sprouts where kale is the star,  and walnut vinaigrette, which would also work well here.

Here’s an apple and brussels salad with pancetta and corn bread croutons.

One of the best salads I ever made that is slightly more complicated is this red beet pesto and brussel sprout salad.
