This Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Quinoa and Apple Salad is the perfect winter salad!! It’s marinated with a divine sweet orange vinaigrette and is so filling and comforting!
Add all the ingredients to a mason jar or any jar fitted with a top. Shake vigorously until combined thoroughly. Set aside until ready to use. Feel free to double the dressing if desired.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad
To prepare the Brussels sprouts, wash thoroughly and dry. Remove the shrivelled outer leaves (if any) and cut the tough ends off of the Brussels sprouts. Using a mandoline, or a food processor fitted with a shredded top, shred the Brussels sprouts. Use a mandoline glove to protect your hands!
Pour half the salad dressing onto the Brussels sprouts and mix to combine. Let it sit on the salad while you prepare the other ingredients (about 5 minutes, or 8 minutes if toasting the walnuts).
Add all the other ingredients to the salad. Season with salt and Pepper (this really pulls out the flavours) and add the rest of the vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
You can eat it immediately, but I highly recommend waiting at least 30 minutes while the salad marinates in the fridge. It tastes even better after a day in the fridge! Enjoy!
