This Shredded Creamy Brussels Sprouts Salad is one of those surprising dishes that turns skeptics into fans. Crunchy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet and tangy—it’s perfect for weekday lunches, dinner sides, or a make-ahead holiday dish. The texture is hearty enough to hold up in the fridge, and the flavor gets even better after a few hours. Bonus? It’s naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and full of ingredients that support your gut and immune system.
I love whipping this up during the cooler months when Brussels sprouts are in season, but truthfully—it’s on rotation all year long in my kitchen. And if you’ve never had them raw like this, prepare to be amazed. Once thinly sliced and tossed in a tangy turmeric dressing, they transform into something totally crave-worthy.
✔️ Brussels Sprouts
These little cruciferous veggies are loaded with vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber. Shredded thin, they make the perfect crunchy base for this salad—and unlike lettuce, they hold their texture for days in the fridge.
✔️ Coconut Yogurt
The secret to the dressing’s creamy texture without using dairy. It adds a smooth, tangy richness that makes this salad feel indulgent, while still being gut-friendly and anti-inflammatory.
✔️ Turmeric
This golden spice is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Just a touch adds warmth and depth to the dressing while supporting your immune system and joints.
✔️ Pumpkin Seeds
A crunchy topping loaded with zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats. They’re lightly toasted to bring out a nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the apples and the tang of the dressing.
