Recipe Ingredients
BRUSSELS SPROUTS – Shredded brussels sprouts are easy to find bagged in the produce section, or simply shred them with a box grater (see below).
CABBAGE – Switch up the cabbage colors by using a blend of green and purple.
FRESH HERBS – Cilantro and mint accent the mild flavors of the veggies, but a little bit of chopped green or red apples give the salad some sweet crunch.
EXTRAS – Even broccoli or cauliflower florets can be added for more texture! Pistachios offer a hearty crunch but walnuts or pecans can be used, too! Even a bacon topping will add another crunchy dimension of flavor!
Best Slaw Dressing
This easy, vinegar-based dressing is easily whisked together in minutes and has a citrusy burst of lime that complements the veggies and pistachios. Add some ground mustard or garlic powder for a stronger tasting dressing.

How to Shred Brussel Sprouts
Choose brussels sprouts that are free of bruised or torn leaves. Rinse and pat them dry.
With a Knife: Trim the stems. Cut them in half vertically and slice across the horizontal edges in small strips.
With a Food Processor: Trim off the stems and place sprouts in a food processor. Shred with the slicing attachment.
With a Box Grater: Shred each whole sprout against the grater, moving in one direction.
Recipe Tips and Tricks!
- The best way to use nuts in any recipe is to sauté them in a dry skillet for a few minutes until they are lightly browned. This intensifies their flavor and makes them extra crunchy!
- Using a bullet blender for the dressing emulsifies the ingredients and makes it extra creamy!
- For a creamy dressing, add half an avocado to the dressing and blend on high until emulsified.
