Shredded Brussels Spouts Salad Recipe
Making this salad is really easy with the shaved brussels sprouts from Trader Joe’s. If you can’t find these, you can shave brussels sprouts at home with a mandolin or a knife. As for the toppings, you can totally customize them based on your preferences or what you have on hand. I love using cranberries for Thanksgiving, but you could also use cherries or another dried fruit.
Also, you can swap out the parmesan cheese and try white cheddar, blue cheese or feta on this salad. The dressing can easily be made ahead of time and stored in your refrigerator. I sometimes add more honey or maple syrup to the dressing, but it all depends on your taste preference. I keep the dressing separate from the salad until ready to serve so the salad keeps it’s crunch.
