This light and refreshing Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad is the perfect bite for a nice sunny day. With sweet dates, smoky gouda cheese, and crisp apples, this salad will be the highlight of your spring day! 

Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad

It’s Wednesday and it isn’t one of those cheery hump days that we’re used to now that the world is in chaos. Watching TV isn’t giving me the peace that I needed. So I’ve been spending more time in my kitchen lately baking some stuff just to get through the day. If you have a kid or kids stuck at home with you, you know what I’m talking about. 😉

And to brighten up the mood and also trying to get healthy to boost our immune system, I’m sharing today one of the best spring salad there is.

My husband and I love this and even my son (although, he’d usually add more dressing into his plate just to mask the veggie). You’ll totally fall in love with this on your first try!

Can You Eat Brussel Sprouts Raw?

There are vegetables that are actually best when eaten raw. Among them are those that belong to the cruciferous vegetable group which includes broccoli, cauliflower, kale, bok choy, cabbage, and brussel sprouts, among others. So yes, it’s totally safe to eat raw brussel sprouts. And it’s also as good as these Sauteed Brussel Sprouts and Balsamic Baked Brussel Sprouts.

How to Shave Brussel Sprouts?

You can actually buy shaved or shredded brussel sprouts in several grocery stores. But if you have some right now, why not do the shaving yourself and keep it in a plastic bag and into the fridge. To shave these baby greens at home.

  • Wash them with clean water
  • Cut off the stem or any discolored or patched leaves.
  • Shaved your brussel sprouts using any of the following: a mandoline slicer (which I love using for these Plantain Chips), food processor, or simply your knife.
  • Once shredded, wash and drain again the sprouts using cold water. Drain well and either place it in a zipper bag or use it right away to make this salad.

Brussel Sprouts Salad Ingredients

This refreshing and healthy spring salad is loaded with lovely textures and flavors. It has….

  • brussel sprouts
  • sliced smoked gouda
  • dates
  • thinly sliced apples

Feel free to throw in whatever you have in your fridge like sunflower or poppy seeds, dried cranberries, sliced grapes, pomegranate, chopped walnuts or diced bacon!

Brussel Sprout Dressing

But this salad wouldn’t be as hit as it is now without its refreshing, sweet, and light yogurt dressing. My dressing is downright delicious! You would just love making a  big batch of this for all your other salad. To make it, you’ll just need…

  •  Greek yogurt
  • extra virgin olive
  •  Dijon mustard
  • honey
  • apple cider vinegar 
  • lemon and orange juice
  • garlic
  • shallots 
  • salt and pepper

Can You Make Brussel Sprouts Salad Ahead of Time?

Yes, you sure can! You can start by making the salad dressing ahead of time for 4 days. Just keep it in the fridge until ready to use. Then throw it in on the day of serving.

Or another option is for you to shave brussel sprouts for up to 2 days in advance. Keep them in an airtight container and into the fridge. Once ready to serve, just toss in the salad dressing and mix.
