Why I love it:
Make it Ahead of Time – I usually have all of the ingredients in my fridge already prepped. Shred the Brussels sprouts and make the dressing up to 1 week ahead of time. Cook the bacon and chop the apples several hours before and mix a little lemon juice over the apples to keep them from browning. This way you can just grab and toss everything together really quickly.Star of Potluck – Whenever we have parties with a large group, I always bring a big salad. This salad is always a crowd favorite!The Dressing: The 5-ingredient homemade maple balsamic vinaigrette is out of this world and takes seconds to throw together.
How to Make Brussels Sprouts Salad:
Shred the Brussels Sprouts. Remove the end of the stem and discard it. Then use a sharp knife to slice the Brussels sprouts as thin as possible or use a food processor with a slicing attachment. Make Dressing. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar. Place a lid on the jar and shake well. Toss and Serve. Combine shredded Brussels sprouts, cranberries, pecans, apples, bacon, onion, and feta to a large bowl and pour desired amount of dressing over the salad, a little at a time (you may not use it all!), until coated. Store leftover dressing in the fridge.
Recipe Variations:
Add Protein: Make this salad a complete meal by adding chicken, air fryer chicken tenders, air fryer tofu, or your favorite protein!Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad: Use a mandoline or food processor to shave the Brussels sprouts.Kale and Brussel Sprouts Salad: Substitute some of the Brussels sprouts for fresh chopped kale.
