Let’s be honest… eating salad can get BORING.  Does anyone else out there agree?

In dental school, Cohl and I ate the exact same salad almost every weekday for an entire year.  Let’s just say I definitely limit the combination of balsamic vinaigrette, goat cheese, pecans, and cranberries now.

But as boring as salad may seem, there are SO many variations out there to try.

We normally enjoy spinach, kale, and arugula salads, but have you ever had a shredded Brussles sprouts salad?

Trust me… your salad-life is about to be changed!

Loads of shredded Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and carrots are combined to form an ultra-crisp and refreshing salad.  No cooking, sauteing, or roasting required!

A super creamy and flavorful Thai-style almond butter dressing is then whisked together to coat the shredded Brussels sprouts salad.

Top it off with a bit of cilantro, greens onions, and crunchy almonds and voila!!  You have an ultra-healthy-and-oh-so-tasty salad ready in under 20 minutes.

Want to make this Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad Ahead of Time?

If you’re planning on bringing this to a get-together or preparing it the night before to bring to work, make sure you keep the dressing and the vegetables separate.

Brussels sprouts are less likely to get soggy than spinach or kale, but they still will if kept in the dressing overnight.

Make sure you store the dressing in a separate container from the shredded brussels sprouts salad and then mix just before you serve.

How Can You Evolve this Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad?

Even though this salad is already gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and full of raw vegetables, there are a few ways you can alter it to fit your dietary preferences:

  • If you’re on a Paleo or Whole 30 diet, replace the edamame with additional carrots and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce or Tamari.
  • Feel free to leave out the maple syrup if you want to reduce the sugar content or are on a Whole 30 diet.

    1. Yay! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Monica! Happy you could modify it to your liking. Thanks for leaving a comment and a rating!

    1. Absolutely, Melissa! I’d leave the dressing on the side just so it doesn’t get soggy after a few days in the fridge 🙂

  1. This looks SO GOOD! Do you think peanut butter could be swapped in for the almond butter? That’s what I have on hand at the moment.

    1. Hi Janice! It absolutely can! Make sure to get a creamy, not chunky, almond butter. If it is still too chunky, heat it up in the microwave and/or blend the sauce ingredients together in a high-speed blender or food processor. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

    DH didn’t like the way I fixed the last batch of Brussels sprouts (cooked) so I used this recipe—he liked it. I was using prepared almond butter near the bottom of the jar. There was little almond oil left, so even with heating I had difficulty distributing the almond butter in the dressing. The flavor was terrific; I’d use more chili paste next time (1 tsp this time). We squeezed lime juice over each salad. Looking forward to leftovers.

    1. Hi Janice! The almond butter at the bottom of the tub will definitely not spread easily (since the oil is gone!) . The addition of a little lime juice sounds incredible though. Happy you both enjoyed it!

    Everyone loved the salad – great flavors and dressing was not overwhelming. I added sliced radish to the recipe as well.

    1. Oh I love your idea to add the radishes! So happy everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment and rating!!

  4. I love Thai style salads! I think maybe I could live on them for lunch every single day…? 🙂 That almond butter dressing sounds crazy-delish, and it’s perfection for those who can’t do peanuts. YUM!

    I’m always up for trying a new salad so I do find salads boring at times as well. Thanks for sharing this!
