Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Tangy Vinaigrette

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I don’t know about you but salads have never really been my favorite. This may be because when I first became a vegan I thought that salads were the only thing I could really eat. I spent months choking down dry greens until I had had enough. It wasn’t too much later that I found out being vegan didn’t mean I had to give up much of anything at all.

Want spaghetti? Fine. Pizza? OK. An amazingly filling salad filled with a ton of flavor? No problem. Enter shaved brussels sprouts. There was a time in my life that I was eating roasted brussels sprouts on the daily. That’s testament to how much I love them. While I am not longer on that particular bandwagon, I still find ways to incorporate them into my meals whenever I can.

Ingredients for shaved brussels sprout salad laid out on a wooden charger.

Prior to making this recipe I had never eaten brussels sprouts raw. I didn’t understand how people could do it considering they are so amazing cooked. After eating this salad every day for the past week I am singing a different tune.

Working in combination with the tangy, oil-free vinaigrette, the apples and cranberries pull out the sweetness in the brussels so you won’t miss the caramelization that occurs when they are roasted in the oven. Whole-grain farro adds a heartiness that leaves you feeling full and satisfied while the pecans provide a much-needed crunch. Yum!

This salad comes together in 15 minutes using only 5 ingredients. Quick, healthy, and delicious. What more could a person ask for in a tasty salad? Eat this as a side or as a main dish. It doesn’t matter. Just eat it.
