Have you tried a shaved brussels sprout salad?
Shaved brussels sprouts work great in salads. They remind me of the texture of cabbage and pair wonderfully with crisp apples and creamy goat cheese.
Today’s Brussels Sprouts Apple Goat Cheese Salad is one that will be on my Thanksgiving table this year. It is full of a variety of textures and flavors which makes this an interesting salad to put on your table.
As with all salads you can mix things up with this brussels sprouts salad but I included shaved brussels sprouts, chopped apples, walnuts, dried cranberries, red onion and goat cheese in mine.
I top mine with a simple homemade balsamic dressing but you can use anything you have on hand.
These types of salad make a great addition to weekly meals or meal-planning! If you like Brussels sprout salads try this Brussels Sprout Slaw or Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad.
Recipe Ingredients
You will love this easy recipe and the simple ingredients it uses for the marinade ingredients. It is one of my favorite recipes!
- Brussels sprouts: You either want to buy whole brussels sprouts and shred them using a food process or you can buy a bag of shaved brussels sprouts. I often find mine at Trader Joes.
- Apples: Use any of your favorite apples in this recipe. I tend to like sweet apples.
- Nuts: This salad uses walnuts but you could also use pistachios, almonds or pecans.
- Dried Cranberries: Dried fruit, like dried cranberries, is a nice sweet addition to offset the other flavors. You also can use dried apricots, dried dates or dried raisins.
- Cheese: Creamy goat cheese is my go-to in this salad. You also could sub in feta cheese.
- Dressing: The dressing is a light fall style dressing mixing balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, honey and apple cider vinegar.
