Brussels Sprout Salad with Carrots and Macadamia Nuts

Labels: { Dips Sauces and Preserves, Nuts and Seeds, Salads }

Making a Brussels sprouts salad doesn't actually require much preparation. You can use a food processor to chop the sprouts and grate the carrots, which will require just 5 minutes. The longer you let it chill in the fridge, the more tender the sprouts will be. Toss with tender carrot tops or other herbs (cilantro, parsley, spring onions are all good) and toasted nuts before serving.

Salad	Dressing
450 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced 200 g Carrots, peeled and roughly grated 3 tbsp Carrot tops, chopped 80 g Macadamia nuts, toasted	60 ml Extra-virgin olive oil 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 3 tbsp Honey 3 tbsp Maggi sauce or soya sauce 1/4 tsp Salt

Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Place Brussels sprouts, and grated carrots in a large bowl. Toss with dressing. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour. Stir in chopped carrot tops and chopped macadamia nuts just before serving.

Tom 17/1/22 00:50: ...I've never been a Brussels sprouts fan.
Brian's Home Blog 17/1/22 01:15: I like Brussels Sprouts so that would be a winner for me!
Christine 17/1/22 02:34: I never had them raw, nice.
kathyinozarks 17/1/22 02:37: sounds delicious Angie
J.P. Alexander 17/1/22 03:50: Suena genial sana y muy rica. Gracias por la receta, te mando un beso
Eha 17/1/22 04:51: Absolutely love Brussels sprouts - one of few vegetables to have their own 'real' taste but normally they have not been part of my salads . . . great to have a recipe to follow !
Fran @ G'day Souffle 17/1/22 05:28: Lots of nice textures there with the Macadamia nuts, etc. That's a great idea using carrot tops (never done that before), but I think I'd like to first roast my Brussels Sprouts before putting them in the salad!
Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews 17/1/22 05:47: We both love brussels sprouts, and although we both also enjoy al dente vegetables, I think I might have to disguise them pretty well if I was serving them raw for hubbie! I imagine they taste a bit like raw cabbage though, so maybe not too much of an issue!

I would never have thought about adding the macadamias and the flavours in that dressing are to die for as well!

Another winning recipe! - Happy Monday :)
Grace 17/1/22 06:02: Es época de ensaladas. Así que eres muy bienvenida y oportuna.
Solo que debo sustituir algunos ingredientes. La macadamia no creo encontrarla aquí (igual consultaré). Podría sustituirla por pistachos?
Gracias Angie!!
Buena semana con ricos sabores y salud!!

DEZMOND 17/1/22 14:03: I did not know that sprouts can be eaten fresh, they give me tummyache even when cooked, but I used to love them in winter sooooo much in soups or roasted in the oven with potatoes. I do ever so miss those stinky little bastards.

P.S. I'm sorry you're still not getting proper notifications from my blog. Wish I was more techy and could figure it out...though it seems the RSS feed does not like to share updated posts. I wish I knew a way to block that feature.
