Crowd Pleaser Brussels Sprout Slaw!

Crowd Pleaser Brussels Sprout Slaw Recipe! Made with raisins, pistachios, pears, pecorino and a simple dressing for an easy fall inspired salad.

Looking for a fall-inspired slaw? And don’t need cabbage?? I gotchu covered babes!

Granted I made this recipe in the middle of summer HA. So that just shows you can actually make it anytime of the year. But if you want all seasonal flavors – of course it’s filled with fall goodies like brussels sprouts and some pears. I have made this with granny smith apples and it is to die for. You can really use any nut you want like a pine nut or pecan as well. We also love to substitute the raisins for dried cranberries or dried cherries to really get festive!

This makes for a great side dish for a meal. Or you can serve it as the main course with a bit of protein on top. I bet even some hardboiled eggs would be absolutely delicious with these for a healthy and easy lunch.

I hope you guys love this recipe as much as we do! We cannot wait to hear what you think.

What ingredients you need to make this recipe:

How to instructions for this easy brussels sprouts slaw:

1. Add ingredients for salad into a large bowl and mix together
2. In a small jar or bowl prep the dressing ingredients and whisk together
3. Coat the salad with desired amount of dressing (if you need more adjust quants as needed) and allow the slaw to soak in dressing for a bit an marinate then enjoy!
4. I like to serve this cool and leave it out of the fridge for about 30 minutes or so before eating or just eat it cold. Feel free to add some cooked chicken or anything else on top if you want to make it a hearty meal!

Some Brussels Sprout Slaw Recipe FAQs:

1. What is the easiest way to shred brussel sprouts? My best hack is to always use the food processor. You can put all the brussel sprouts right in and give them a few quick pulses until they are to the desired texture.
2. Can you eat raw brussel sprouts? Absolutely! I always think similar to kale its best to massage the dressing or lemon juice with olive oil before eating.
3. How do you get the bitterness out of brussel sprouts? Just like question #2 it really helps to massage the brussel sprouts with your dressing to help remove some of the bitterness.
