Brussels Sprout and Apple Salad
Serves 4 to 6
Time 45 min
Cabbage-like Brussels sprouts pair well with apples, and this salad features a medley of flavors: salty, sweet, spicy and savory. It’s delicious on its own, served alongside roasted meats or enjoyed as a “slaw” on pulled pork sandwiches at your next tailgate party.

Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 small shallot, very finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, deveined and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into matchsticks
Method
Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds.
Drain and place in ice water until cool. Drain well and spread on a large towel-lined baking sheet to dry completely, about 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together shallot, vinegar, sugar, salt and jalapeño. Slowly whisk in oil until dressing is emulsified.
Place sprouts and apples in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat.
Serve immediately for a fresh crunchy salad, or refrigerate overnight for a slaw-like consistency.
