Creamy Brussels Sprouts Slaw

Brussels Sprouts Slaw

Raw Brussels sprouts? Yes, absolutely. I’m a huge fan. They are completely delicious, but definitely have to be sliced very thinly or chopped well otherwise they are a bit dense.

Even though most of us think of Brussels sprouts for the holidays, this would make a killer picnic dish.

You can easily buy thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, and then just give them a rough chop with a heavy knife on a cutting board. I have used the pre-sliced version, but in my more perfect world I like to start with whole Brussels sprouts, run them into the chute of my food processor and through the slicing blade. Then I dump them onto a cutting board and give them a rough chop with a knife.

The slicing and shredding blades in my food processor are seriously two of my best friends in the kitchen. The food processor itself may be my very best friend.

This is a great make ahead salad, since the Brussels sprouts can stand up to the creamy dressing without wilting. You could make this up to a day ahead of time, in fact, but then toss in the dried cherries or cranberries and the pumpkin seeds just before serving, so they retain their chew and crunch respectively.

Also, once I was making this, and was out of mayo (which almost never happens) and used sour cream instead. Differently creamy and yummy.

Even though most of us think of Brussels sprouts for the holidays, this would make a killer picnic dish. Very portable.
