This Brussels Sprout Coleslaw recipe is a crisp and refreshing side dish made with shredded Brussels sprouts, tangy dressing, and crunchy mix-ins for the perfect balance of flavor and texture. It’s a healthy, easy-to-make coleslaw that pairs beautifully with BBQ, sandwiches, or holiday meals.
Shred the Sprouts: On a cutting board, shave or slice Brussels sprouts into thin strips using a sharp knife, food processor, or slicing blade. Discard stems and transfer shredded sprouts to a large mixing bowl.
Combine the Vegetables: Add shredded sprouts, red cabbage, carrots, red pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, and spring onions to the large bowl. Toss well.
Whisk the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and lime juice until smooth and emulsified. For creamy coleslaw, stir in sour cream or mayo.
Mix It All Together: Pour the mustard dressing over the slaw. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until coated.
Serve: You can eat immediately but the flavors develope best after 1-2 hours.
Notes
If you don't have brussel sprouts, you can sub with regular cabbage as needed.
