If you’ve never tried raw Brussels sprouts, this recipe for Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette is a great way to try them out. The crisp, smoky bacon, along with the chewy, sweet cranberries, and tangy dressing perfectly compliment the bitter, peppery Brussels sprouts.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette

This is a perfect healthy lunch or a dinner side dish and it’s delicious year-round. This salad is quick and easy, healthy, and tasty.

Although you could slice the Brussels sprouts and a food processor, using a knife ensures you get uniform slices, and it takes no time at all. I had the whole bag sliced in 10 minutes.

If you don’t have pepitas, you could use any kind of toasted nuts you like (or leave them out). You can also use any kind of dried fruit you like in place of the cranberries, but you’ll definitely want a pop of sweetness to balance the flavors.

This served four as a side dish but could also serve two as a generous-sized lunch.
