This delicious Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad made with juicy pears, pomegranates, pepitas, and goat cheese is the proper fall side dish.

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

I really like raw shaved Brussels sprout salads and have been making them since Madison was little. She loves them! Last 12 months, I shared this Fall Brussels Salad with Apples, but these days, I’m loving this pear version with pomegranate seeds. The proper fall side dish to enjoy together with your favorite protein. The colours are gorgeous, the pepitas give it the proper crunch, and the goat cheese (or feta cheese) adds creaminess. For more of my favorite Brussels sprout recipes, do this Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad and Shredded Brussels Salad with Bacon.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Colourful: This beautiful Brussels sprout salad would look great in your holiday table.
• Hearty: Leftover shredded Brussels salads, unlike leafy salads, can be great the following day.
• Healthy: Brussels sprouts are low in carbs and high in fiber and protein, with a number of vitamins C and K. The opposite ingredients are all nutritious, adding much more fiber and protein.
• Easy: When you buy prepped pomegranate seeds and Brussels sprouts, all you’ve got to do is whisk the vinaigrette, cut the pear, and throw every part in a bowl.

Easy methods to Shave Brussels Sprouts

You should buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts from the supermarket, but I prefer to prep them myself in order that they’re brisker.

1. First, cut off the basis end of every sprout, after which do one in all the 2 methods below:
2. Slice the Brussels sprouts in half after which cut them vertically.
3. Use the slicing disk on a food processor to shred the sprouts, or a pointy knife to halve after which thinly slice them by hand.

Easy methods to Make Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

1. Vinaigrette: Whisk the olive oil, Dijon, shallots, and vinegar with a pinch of salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
2. Brussels Sprouts: Pour the dressing over the shaved Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl and season with 1 / 4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste. Toss well and transfer to a big salad bowl.
3. Assemble the Salad: Top the sprouts with pears, pomegranates, pepitas, and goat cheese.

Variations

• Greens: Sub kale for the shredded sprouts.
• Pear: Swap the red pear with a Bartlett or Bosc pear or an apple, like Pink Lady or Honeycrisp.
• Pomegranates: Substitute dried cranberries or dates.
• Pepitas: Use toasted pecans or walnuts.

What to Serve with Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

This easy Brussels sprout salad would go perfectly with any protein, like baked salmon, roasted chicken, or honey mustard air fryer pork chops and a starchy side dish, like roasted potatoes, brown rice or quinoa.

Easy methods to Meal Prep Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

When you’re serving it at a celebration or the vacations, do these three things a day or two early:

1. Shred the Brussels sprouts
2. De-seed the pomegranate
3. Make the vinaigrette

On the day of your event, assemble the salad a few hours early, but wait to chop the pear until right before serving. This hearty salad will keep for as much as two days within the fridge.
