Notes
Use pre-washed Brussels sprouts, cut the bottom end off, and toss them into a blender. Using the pulse button, pulse until you have chopped sprouts.
Do not use frozen brussel sprouts for the salad, only fresh.
Consider transporting to your next event since the salad holds up to the dressing without getting soggy. You can even make up to a few days in advance.
Any variety of apple can be used. We enjoy the crispiness of a Honeycrisp or gala apple; however, will chop up a Granny smith apple when looking to feature a sweet side.
Toss the chopped apples in lemon juice before adding to the salad. This helps to prevent browning while also adding a nice touch of lemon flavor to the salad.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Toss any moldy, slimy or poor smelling brussels sprouts as these are all signs the sprouts have gone bad.
This salad holds up very well even with the dressing and can be made a day in advance. Add pistachios right before serving to keep their crunch.CCK Features both Gluten-Free Guidance and Kids Cooking Instructions: If you're new to eating gluten-free we understand it's overwhelming trying to figure out which foods may contain gluten and which ones don't.
