Brussel and Pomegranate Salad
This easy brussel and pomegranate salad with a maple dijon dressing is a healthy and flavorful side dish for any holiday, get-together, or weeknight meal.
I love a salad with non-traditional greens. Shredded brussels make for a great base for this fall or winter salad and they don’t get soggy like traditional lettuce. This colorful, bright, zesty brussel salad is perfect for a holiday, fall or winter get-together, or a weeknight meal. It easily comes together in under 20 minutes and is so flavorful. Brussel and pomegranate salad is gluten-free and can be dairy-free.

- Make this recipe really easy to throw together by buying shredded brussels, pomegranate seeds, and crumbled feta and you can make it in about 10 minutes
- If you buy pre-shredded sprouts I always go through them and pick out any hard parts that are in the mix
- To hand shred brussels you can chop by hand, use a large box grater, or use a food processor
- When bringing the salad to a get together I like to store the salad and dressing in separate containers and mix the dressing right before serving
- This salad doesn’t get soggy like traditional lettuce after dressed, but still tastes best when consumed within 3 days
- Make this salad vegan and dairy-free by using vegan feta cheese
