Crunchy Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe
Was I the only one who didn’t know it was Brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts? It makes it a bit of a tongue twister when it’s plural, for me anyway. The name, as it turns out, comes from the fact that the modern Brussels sprout was largely cultivated in Belgium, hence the name. This also implies it needs to be capitalized every time you use it, but for some reason the apostrophe has been dropped. Lots of vegetable grammar education happening here this morning. Ha. No matter how it’s spelled or pronounced, this salad is a perfect way to enjoy these delicious little sprouts. Crunchy raw sprouts, cranberries, almonds, and a creamy pumpkin tahini dreessing. This would make a great holiday starter and also makes a great lunch with some shredded chicken on top.

1

To make the dressing, in a small bowl stir together the pumpkin, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice. Then slowly begin adding water, a little at a time. Do this until the mixture is light and creamy and at the thickness you want. Stir in the yogurt and garlic. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

2

Using a mandolin, food processor, or knife, slice the Brussels sprout leaves thinly. You could then blanch them for a couple of minutes or just keep them raw depending on your preference.

3

Add the cranberries, walnuts, red onion, and dressing. Toss together.

4

Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
