FAQ’s

How do you cut Brussels Sprouts for a salad?

Before cutting your Brussel Sprouts, it is important to wash and trim them very well. Peel off the first couple of leave and wash very well to clean any unwanted dirt. Then trim of their stem. Please do this even if there is a washed label on the sprouts.  I know it takes time but it’s important to avoid any sickness.

When making a Brussel Sprouts Salad recipe, you will have to obviously cut them in some way. You can cut the sprouts in quarters or shred them with a food processor or simply slice them by hand if you have time. Most people use a food processor to save time. I personally sliced them myself by hand. I cut the sprouts in half and then slice the halves into shreds.

Can I make the salad dressing vegan?

I LOVE this dressing! I love how easy it is and how well it goes with so many other salads. It’s a simple lemon and mayo dressing that can be made as vegan by swapping regular mayo with Veganaise . I also love adding some crushed garlic to the dressing even though my husband likes it without. So you can opt out on it as well. 

Can you eat Brussels Sprouts raw?

Absolutely! They really are like tiny cabbages. They hold up great in salads and at a substantial and satisfying crunch to a bowl of veggies. They take on the dressing really well and have a lovely subtle sweetness to them. Plus, sprouts are low in calories but high in many nutrients, especially fiber, vitamin K and vitamin C.

What to serve with this Brussels Sprouts Salad

I serve this salad as a side with many protein dishes. It goes well with grilled and even fried recipes. Another one of my favorite ways to serve this recipe is as a side to some sort of rice dish like veggies and rice, or shrimp with veggies and rice, Spanish rice and no, not fried rice. It doesn’t taste good with that. It’s more like anything but fried rice. You can also enjoy this salad as a regular salad dish if you are vegetarian.
