Nothing beats savory roasted Brussels sprouts. But when raw, the tiny veg packs a serious flavor punch—and crunch. Ditch your normal greens for a salad base made with shredded Brussels sprouts instead. Green or purple will work. Then, top the crunchy leaves with sweet dates, apples, and a tart lemon vinaigrette. Consider it your new side salad.

Are brussels sprouts baby cabbages?
At first glance, Brussel sprouts and cabbages look very similar with their round shape and tightly packed leaves. Though they do come from the same family, they’re not the same plant. Cabbage has a milder flavor and tastes great raw in coleslaws and tacos. Brussels sprouts are often served thinly sliced and raw in salads, or halved and roasted to mellow their bitter flavor. Nutritionally speaking, Brussel sprouts contain many vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and K, fiber, and carotenoids. They also differ in the way they grow. Cabbage heads grow directly out of the ground and brussel sprouts blossom off of a stalk. |

Excellent recipe! Such a fresh and crunchy salad!
Super recipe! I shredded the apple and substituted the sunflower seeds for salted cashews. I used a chopped died fig and it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you
