Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipe
Description
The Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipe combines shredded Brussels sprouts with crispy cooked bacon, chopped toasted walnuts, and chopped dried apricots. The dressing uses olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to coat the salad ingredients evenly and add sweet and tangy notes. After tossing with dressing, the salad rests briefly to allow the Brussels sprouts to soften slightly and absorb flavors.
This salad presents a contrast of textures: the raw shredded sprouts remain firm yet tender, walnuts provide crunch, apricots add chewiness and natural sweetness, and bacon contributes a smoky salty bite. The dressing's combination of honey and cider vinegar balances these elements with a bright finish.
Ideal as a side for roasted meats or as a light lunch, the salad brings seasonal freshness. It is easy to prepare and can be partially made ahead by toasting walnuts and chopping ingredients in advance.
Ingredients
- 2 trips Bacon thick-cut
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts see note, shredded
- ½ cup walnuts chopped, toasted
- ½ cup dried apricots chopped
Dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper sea salt
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove it from the pan and crumble it when it's cool enough to touch.
- While the bacon is cooking prep the brussels sprouts and make the dressing. Add the dressing ingredients to a small jar and shake well to mix it.
- Add the shaved brussels sprouts, walnuts, apricots, and crumbled bacon to a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the brussels sprouts and toss to coat well. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes so the brussels soften a little.
Notes
- To shred Brussels sprouts, remove the stem and slice thinly from top to bottom.
- Store-bought pre-shredded Brussels sprouts can be used to save time.
