Brussels Sprouts Slaw Salad
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of belly happy food that put you in a coma for a few hours. What’s a Thanksgiving without the typical surrender shout of “Omg, I ate too much I couldn’t help myself”? Normally every year we’ll indulge and look forward having a few days of extra left overs to nosh on. But this year we were so disciplined about how much we ate that we didn’t even have any left overs. Believe it or not, it’s true.
We spent our holiday up in San Francisco with family and had to drive back on Thanksgiving afternoon back to Los Angeles. So during our Thanksgiving brunch we were careful to not eat ourselves to the point of being comatose because of the impending 7 hour drive back home. We were so “good” about this that we didn’t even have any dessert. Now that’s what you call will power!
The meal that we cooked had our staple potatoes au gratin, which is always a favorite. Another tradition we must always have at the table is our simple roasted brussels sprouts. Having made these brussels sprouts so many times at different times of the year, we never get tired of this dish. As a matter of fact, we never tire of brussels sprouts. These magical veggie orbs are wonderful when roasted slowly that we’ve never really considered preparing them in any other way.
Last week we wanted to experiment more with the brussels sprout in raw form, somewhat like a slaw salad. We’re fans of good, fresh cabbage slaw, so naturally the brussels sprouts slaw would be the perfect transition from our traditional roasted recipe.
Thin and Raw
Thinly shaved brussels sprouts is as wonderful in it’s raw form as it is in it’s roasted form. The fresh and delicate crunch of these mini orbs, tossed with some crispy bacon, aromatic toasted healthy pecans and touch of mayo is the perfect vegetable side dish to a holiday meal. For brussels sprouts lovers, you can certainly have the roasted version along side this raw slaw dish. Both have such different textures and flavors that bring a unique touch to the holiday menu without being redundant with the same veggie.
We’re having so much fun with eating and preparing brussels sprouts in different ways, that we have another recipe to share with you next week! So brace yourself for more because we’re slightly brussels sprouts obsessed right now.
enjoy!

This is a quick delicious salad with raw shaved brussels sprouts. You can easily leave the bacon out if you want it to be vegetarian. Just add a touch more salt to compensate for the bacon's saltiness.

Just made this tonight and my wife (who doesn’t like brussel sprouts) really liked it. Definitely added to my mental “interesting appetizers” list…

They always remind me of Christmas and even so with some stir fry mushrooms! I don’t know how you did it without desserts. Saving for another day perhaps?
