This Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad is a crunchy, flavorful, and nutrient-rich side dish made with finely shredded Brussels sprouts, cranberries, and pecans, all tossed in a zesty honey mustard ginger dressing. Perfect for holidays or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 shallot, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, finely shredded
  • 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries (preferably juice-sweetened)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, ginger, honey, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the diced shallot to the dressing immediately to mellow its flavor.
  3. Finely shred the Brussels sprouts using a knife or food processor and add them to the bowl.
  4. Toss the sprouts thoroughly with the dressing to coat evenly.
  5. Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries, then toss again.
  6. Let the salad marinate for 30 to 60 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
  7. Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Add apples, pears, or grapes for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Store dressing and shredded sprouts separately if making ahead.
  • Use roasted seeds instead of nuts for a nut-free version.
