Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad

A salad that isn’t Waldorf nor Coleslaw but somewhere in between. Fresh with a sour-sweet taste it is a perfect side dish to roasted meat or meatballs or any kind of poultry.

It is a perfect salad to surprise your dinner guests with. What we love best about it is that the recipe is easy to follow. The main ingredient are the Brussels Sprouts but what makes the salad so special are the walnuts, apples and peas and Greek yogurt. We used a little mayonnaise but feel free to skip it for a lighter version. Here is the detailed recipe:

Ingredients:

• 100 g Brussels Sprouts (cleaned)


• 2 small carrots, grated


• 1/4 celery root, grated


• 75 g walnuts


• 1 small peas cut into dices


• 1 sweet apple, grated

For the dressing:

• 100 ml Greek yogurt


• 2 tbsp mayonnaise


• 1 tbsp orange juice (or vinegar)


• 1-2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley


• salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Wash the Brussels Sprouts and remove the outer leaves. Keep the leaves aside in a bowl of cold water as you will use them as decoration when the salad is ready. Cut the Brussels Sprouts into thin stripes. Mix the yogurt and mayonnaise. Add the orange juice and mix again. Now combine the yogurt mixture with the grated vegetables. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Store in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

2. When the dressing is chilled, mix the Brussels Sprouts with the walnuts, peas and apple. Pour the dressing over and lightly mix. Decorate with Brussels Sprouts leaves and some walnuts on top.
