Where are all of my brussels sprouts fans? This salad is for you! Even if you're not obsessed with brussels sprouts like I am, you're going to love this salad.

Why You'll Love This Salad

If you're tired of regular old salads, you'll love this chopped salad bursting with so many different textures and flavors! With crisp shaved brussels sprouts, crunchy almonds, salty parmesan, and smooth, creamy avocado, it's anything but boring. A delicious citrus shallot dressing that's super easy to make adds a ton of flavor. With so few ingredients, it's a very simple salad that is healthy, filling, and make-ahead friendly.

The Ingredients

  • Brussels Sprouts. Used bagged pre-shaved brussels sprouts to save time if needed.
  • Almonds. You can use raw or roasted almonds. They're both delicious!
  • Parmesan. Use a high quality block of parmesan. You can also use aged white cheddar or another white cheese, such as BellaVitano.
  • Avocado.
  • Citrus Shallot Vinaigrette. This homemade dressing is easy and flavorful!

How To Make Brussels Sprouts Chopped Salad

  1. Make the dressing by blending everything in a food processor or blender.
  2. Trim the woody ends form the brussels sprouts and use a sharp knife to shave the sprouts from top to bottom. You can also use a mandoline or food processor with a grating blade. Add them to a large bowl.
  3. Roughly chop the almonds, chop the avocado, and grate the parmesan. Add to the bowl with the brussels sprouts.
  4. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat everything.

How To Store Leftovers

The great thing about this delicious salad is that it makes great leftovers. (It's a big salad!) The brussels sprouts hold up so well to the dressing without getting soggy over time. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend keeping a little extra dressing handy since the brussels sprouts tend to absorb the dressing as it sits in the fridge.

    I love raw Brussel sprout salads, they withstand a few days in the fridge (and get better the longer they sit in my opinion) This one does not disappoint, as long as you don't mind your avocado browning a bit into day 2-3. This Pairs extremely well with a grilled pork tenderloin.
