Using raw Brussels sprouts is something that seems to be underutilized. The crisp bite of these tender little morsels pairs fabulously with a fruity dressing and a pop of color from the cranberries, which makes a great side dish for any meal. Feel free to get creative with this one and add your own twist with different veggies or flavors.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅛ cup apple cider
- ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 12 ounces fully shredded Brussels sprouts
- 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped
- ⅓ cup dry cranberries
Directions
Add olive oil, apple cider, lemon, salt, pepper and honey to large bowl. Whisk together well. Add shredded Brussels sprouts and mix well by hand, rubbing the dressing into the sprouts. Add peppers and cranberries. Toss it all together and serve.
