Why you'll love this recipe
✔️crunchy.
✔️ fresh.
✔️ And delicious!
Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts - if you're picking thru them in a bin smaller sprouts are sweeter than the large ones.
- kale salad mix - this salad is full of big crunch!
- red onion - adds a nice peppery bite.
- peach in the summer or persimmon - in the wintertime.
- butternut squash -
a great use of leftover roastedsquash pomegranate arils - the perfect finish for this salad.
For the Vinaigrette
- Greek yogurt - for creaminess
- fresh lemon juice - adds tangy deliciousness
- olive oil - this oil helps
marinade the kale andbrussels to soften them. - parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder - flavors the dressing
You can certainly take a shortcut and purchase a premade salad dressing - no judgment! If you do, get one that is creamy and citrus based or even coleslaw dressing! These flavors will compliment this salad mix.
Instructions
- Clean all of the vegetables well
- Shred the sprouts
- Thinly slice the onion and fruit
- Add all of the ingredients to a salad bowl
- Mix together the salad dressing ingredients - toss and serve
How to S have Brussels Sprouts
- If you're using a stalk of sprouts, simply break each sprout off the stalk and clean well. (For tips on how to clean and store brussels, click here.)
- With a knife - slice the sprout in half and with a sharp knife, thinly slice until you reach the stem or core. Discard the core
- With a food processor - Clean the sprouts well. Remove and discard the core. Use the slicing blade and feed the sprouts into the tube pulsing the machine to process. Avoid overprocessing.
- With a mandolin - this is the best way to thinly shred the sprouts, but also the most dangerous. Be careful! It's easy to cut yourself! If you do use a mandolin, protect your fingers with a slice-proof glove. They are inexpensive, no reason not to have them if you use a mandolin. Set the blade to a thin cut and hold the end of the sprout and carefully shred. Discard the end when you reach the
core .
Things to know
Take a shortcut! Purchase a bag of pre-shredded sprouts at the store. Just to be sure to check the sell-by date so they are fresh.
Variations
Seasonal Change-ups for the fruit.
- Spring - mango, apricots, pineapple or strawberries
- Summer - blackberries, blueberries strawberries and peaches
- Fall - apples, dried cranberries, grapes and figs
- Winter - dried cranberries, persimmons, segmented oranges or mandarins
Roasted butternut squash, creamy chunks of avocado, walnuts, pecans or almond slivers are always a great addition to this salad!
Don't feel like making your own salad dressing? Used the pre-made salad dressing that comes right in the kale salad kit, delicious!

Recipe backstory
I realized when I posted my Steakhouse Salad Recipe how much I have neglected my salad lovers recently! That yummy salad has just taken off with 11,000 shares and counting. Shame on me, that won't happen again, I promise!
At heart, I'm definitely a soup and salad kinda gal. Casual comfort food is probably one of the BEST ways to describe my blog, wouldn't you agree?
This is a recipe I developed when I was in Utah at a photography conference. It was fall, the air was cool and crisp and it just seemed like the best time to share a hearty salad!
The workshop was fun, I got to spend time with some of the BEST food photographers in my business to learn, take pictures and focus on food styling.
I had a blast!
So having said that... I have a new salad for you today! This shaved brusselsprout salad with Lemon Vinaigrette is a tasty crunchy salad! It's delicious because you can top it with your favorite fruit and a creamy salad dressing.
