Equipment

  • Food Processor (if not using pre-shredded Brussels Sprouts)
  • Small Jar with Lid
  • Salad Bowl
  • Salad Tongs

Ingredients

Poppyseed Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup cooking oil (see note)
  • 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 Tablespoon grated white onion or shallot
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Brussels Sprouts Salad:

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, shredded (look for pre-shredded Brussels sprouts in the produce section or use the grater attachment to shred them in a food processor)
  • 1 pear or apple, chopped or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a small jar with a lid and shake until evenly combined. (Optional: For a very smooth dressing, blend it with an immersion blender.)
  • Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Toss salad, adding dressing until it is dressed to your liking.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking Oil - Use any high-heat cooking oil with a neutral flavor. My favorites are avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil.
