preview for This Brussels Sprout Salad Is The Perfect Holiday Side

We confess: We hopped aboard the Brussels sprouts train and never looked back. There's so many delicious ways to prepare them—roasting, grilling, deep frying...need we go on? But, one of favorite ways to prepare the famous sprouts is in a fresh salad. Tossed with a combo of toasted almonds, shaved Parmesan, and pomegranate seeds, this is the best holiday side for any get-together, most especially your fancy dinner.

Can Brussels sprouts be eaten raw?

Absolutely. If you're unsure about eating raw Brussels sprouts—no stress, it's totally fine! Brussels sprouts are completely safe to be eaten raw, and thinly sliced and tossed in this simple dressing? They're downright delicious.

How long should I marinate them in the dressing?

We recommend at least 20 minutes, but you can leave them sitting for up to four hours before serving! The longer they sit, the more the lemon and herb dressing will soak into your shredded sprouts, which we think is worth the extra time.

What pairs well with a Brussels sprouts salad?

This is a perfect side to your holiday ham or Thanksgiving turkey, but this salad goes with a variety of mains: baked pork chops, vegan meatloaf, butternut squash casserole. Pair it with your winter dinner as a fresh and easy side, switch up the fruit and have it as a refreshing summer salad, or serve it with your weeknight vegetarian dinner—these sprouts can do it all.
