Ditch the regular coleslaw and try a healthier alternative! Brussels sprouts, apples and more tossed with a delicious vinaigrette!

Brussels Sprout Slaw! Did you cringe at the words brussels sprout? Brussels sprouts get such a bad rap! I’m not gonna lie, when cooked wrong they are absolutely disgusting. When done correctly they are really, really, delicious! Actually, they make my favorite veggies list. One of my new year’s resolutions is this year is to expand the types of veggie sides I serve and to think more outside the box. We are kind of in a eating the same vegetables over and over again rut. I saw a bag of brussels sprouts at the store and decided to see what I could come up with. I wanted something more of a fresh salad then a cooked vegetable. This salad was a hit!

How to make:

Slice, diced and prepare your ingredients.
Toss the sliced brussels sprouts, red onions, matchstick carrots, diced apple pieces and sunflower kernels together
Coat generously with the french vinaigrette. I used about half the bottle.
Toss to mix.
Cover and refrigerate 12 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to absorb and blend. The vinaigrette will keep the apples from browning.
Add more dressing and toss before serving.

Tips:

This brussel sprout slaw is so, so easy to prepare. It does need to sit for at least 12 hours or overnight for the flavors to properly blend and the vinaigrette to soak into the brussel sprouts so keep that in mind.
I used my food processor (affiliate link) to slice the brussels sprouts and red onions. I did slice and dice the apple by hand though.
Don’t worry about the apples turning brown. The vinegar in the vinaigrette will keep them from browning.
Coat the brussel sprout slaw generously with Brianna’s real french vinaigrette. (affiliate link) I used about 1/2 the bottle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight. Add more vinaigrette before serving.
