Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons light-flavored oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- ½ teaspoon salt
Slaw
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed
- 1 apple
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the light-flavored oil, lemon juice, sugar, poppy seeds, and salt until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts: Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and then thinly slice them to create a fine shavings texture. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the dressing, tossing to coat evenly.
- Prepare the apple: Slice the apple into short matchsticks for a crisp, sweet contrast. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts and dressing, mixing everything well to ensure the dressing covers all ingredients.
- Serve or chill: You can serve the slaw immediately for a bright and crunchy salad, or refrigerate it for a few hours to let the flavors deepen and meld before enjoying.
Notes
- For best results, use a crisp apple variety such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- You can adjust the sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness.
- This slaw can be made a day ahead; just stir before serving.
- Feel free to substitute lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for a different tang.
- To save prep time, use a mandoline slicer for the Brussels sprouts and apple.
