Description

This Creamy Brussels Sprouts Slaw is a vibrant and refreshing salad featuring bite-sized chopped Brussels sprouts tossed in a tangy, creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and fresh citrus juices. Enhanced with crunchy pumpkin seeds, sweet dried cranberries or cherries, and savory Parmesan cheese, this slaw offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Perfect as a light side dish or a healthy snack, it requires no cooking and can be served immediately or chilled.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, sliced and then roughly chopped
  • ½ cup small diced red onion
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup dried cranberries or cherries (optional)
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Place the sliced and roughly chopped Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the pieces are bite-sized to ensure a pleasant texture in the slaw.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or container, combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, honey, diced red onion, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
  3. Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the Brussels sprouts in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly so that the sprouts are evenly coated and the flavors meld together.
  4. Add Toppings: Incorporate the finely grated Parmesan cheese, dried cranberries or cherries (if using), and pumpkin seeds (if using). Toss again to distribute all the toppings evenly throughout the slaw.
  5. Serve or Chill: Transfer the Brussels sprouts slaw to a serving bowl. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate to enjoy as a chilled, crisp salad later.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • Add toasted nuts such as walnuts or pecans for additional crunch.
  • For a vegan version, replace mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese with vegan alternatives.
  • The slaw can be prepared a few hours ahead to let the flavors meld better; keep refrigerated.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred level of sweetness.
