Given that Brussels sprouts are essentially mini cabbages, they also work exceptionally well in slaws! I’d seen a few different slaws featuring the vegetable lately and combined a few of the recipes to come up with this one that also includes apples and sunflower seeds. Greek yogurt and lemon juice dress the slaw, making it a lighter option than your typical mayonnaise-laden slaws.
Brussels Sprouts Apple Slaw
- 1 lb raw brussels sprouts (finely shredded in a food processor)
- 1 Granny Smith apple (finely shredded in a food processor)
- 1/2 cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp chives
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
- Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and ginger in a large bowl.
- Stir in shredded sprouts and apple, tossing to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in chives and sunflower seeds.
