What You’ll Need To Make Asian Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad

  • Shaved Brussels Sprouts: You can shave them yourself OR you can purchase them already shaved at some grocery stores in the bagged produce section by the salads. 
  • Matchstick Carrots: Adds a slightly sweet crunch to your salad.
  • Cilantro: This fresh herb ties all the salad ingredients together.
  • Green Onion: Adds an onion flavor without it being overpowering.
  • Avocado or Olive Oil: This is the base for the dressing. 
  • Sesame Oil: A popular flavor in Asian foods.
  • Coconut Aminos: Give a salty umami flavor you’d find without having to consume soy sauce.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a slightly acidic compliment to the dressing. 
  • Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice: Adds a pop of fresh flavor and sweetness. 
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds: Used for garnishing your salad. 

How To Make Asian Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad

  1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together avocado oil, sesame oil, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined. This can also be whizzed up in a blender.
  2. In a large bowl, add shaved brussels sprouts, carrots, cilantro and chopped green onion and toss together until evenly combined.
  3. Pour the dressing onto the salad mixture and toss until everything is coated. 
  4. Let sit for 30 minutes in the fridge before tossing again and serving with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top. 

Recipe Tips and FAQ

  • Can You Eat Raw Brussels Sprouts In A Salad? Yes! But it is recommended that they are shaved in order to digest better. It also helps to have the dressing or marinade sit for 30 minutes to soften the fibers in the sprouts in order to break them down a bit and so they are less bitter. 
  • How Do You Shave Brussels Sprouts? Typically they are shaved using a basic mandolin. If you don’t have one, you can cut the brussel sprout in half and cut small strips widthwise until you reach the base. Make sure you are using a really sharp knife safely to do this. 
  • Can You Shave Brussels Sprouts in a Food Processor? Yes! Most food processors have attachments that will allow you to shave brussel sprouts fast and easy.
