Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad

Jump to Recipe

This Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad only has four ingredients, is full of crunch and has a rich, creamy, zippy dressing! It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and a great side dish year-round.

I wish I could say that me and Brussels sprouts go way back, but we just don’t. Growing up, I wasn’t much of a picky eater, except for foods that were highly pungent.

That basically eliminated things like sauerkraut, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts from my diet, lol.

But since then, I’ve seen the error of my ways and luckily have outgrown that phase. Now there isn’t a stinky food that bothers me, stinky cheese included! And of course Brussels sprouts are great because of their versatility, in addition to their nutrition benefits and their delicious flavor.

For some reason, Brussels sprouts seem to be a natural choice for the holidays. You can roast them, saute them, gratin them, steam them, or use them to make this Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad.

Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipe

This Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad recipe is basically as easy as slicing the sprouts! I use my homemade Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing for this salad, but you can use whatever your favorite store-bought or homemade creamy salad dressing is. My second favorite to use here is my homemade Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing!

Pro Tip: Some grocery stores sell pre-chopped Brussels sprouts if you’re short on time!

Can Brussel Sprouts Be Eaten Raw?

According to SFGate, for many people, Brussels sprouts are fine to eat raw. However, some people experience bloating and gas from raw cruciferous vegetables, such as sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. After cooking, these vegetables are easier to digest.

Additionally, as per The World’s Healthiest Foods, both raw and cooked sprouts have cholesterol-lowering properties; however, steamed Brussels sprouts (as opposed to raw sprouts) have a greater ability to lower cholesterol. Very interesting!
