Brussels Sprout Slaw is a fresh and crunchy salad that’s perfect for those looking for a lighter, nutrient-packed side dish. Shredded Brussels sprouts offer a deliciously crisp base, while a tangy vinaigrette brings balance to their slightly nutty flavor. Often paired with apples, dried cranberries, or nuts, this slaw is a great alternative to traditional cabbage slaw and works well as a side dish for barbecues, sandwiches, or roasted meats. It’s simple to prepare, full of texture, and bursting with flavor, making it a refreshing addition to any meal.
