Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad with SunButter Dressing

Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad with shredded brussels sprouts and vegetables tossed in an easy oil-free SunButter dressing. Perfect for workweek lunches!

           

I love brussels sprouts, but I didn’t always know how to spell them. 

It wasn’t that long ago that I went through the entire blog archives, updating all of the “brussel sprout”recipes to “brussels sprout” recipes.

Then there was that time that I vehemently argued with M that elephant was spelled with an i…

I swear I have an English minor from my college, ladies and gentlemen!

But I digress. 

I’ve always loved brussels sprouts, but that usually meant they were roasted, baked, or steamed. 

I’ve never prepared them raw myself, and only had them raw a handful of times while ordering out. 

So this Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad with SunButter Dressing changed everything for me. 

It’s made with shredded brussels sprouts and chopped vegetables tossed in an easy oil-free SunButter dressing. 

Say hi and hello to your new favorite summer barbecue side-salad. 

What You Need to Make Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad

Here’s what you need for the Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad:

• brussels sprouts 
• bell pepper
• shredded carrots
• green onion
• cilantro
• raw cashews 
• hemp hearts

That’s it! 

How to Make Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad

First, start by shredding the brussels sprouts.

Remove any tough and discolored outer leaves and then cut the brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.

Use a mandoline slicer on the thinnest setting to shred them in small even slices.

I like to start with the head of the brussel sprouts and work towards the base, instead of slicing them lengthwise. 

Place all of the shredded brussels sprouts into a large bowl along with the sliced bell pepper, shredded carrots, green onion, cilantro, cashews, and sesame seeds.

Toss everything together with a spoon to roughly combine. 

What You Need to Make the SunButter Dressing

Next, let’s get dressed!

Here’s what you need for the dressing:

• No-Sugar-Added SunButter 
• lime
• Tamari Lite 
• garlic powder
• maple syrup

That’s it! 

How to Make SunButter Dressing

Add all of the  ingredients for the dressing into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until it’s smooth and creamy.

Add the dressing to the salad and toss until everything is well coated.

I love adding No-Sugar-Added SunButter to the dressing of this recipe.

This creamy sunflower seed butter is a staple of mine in cooking, baking, and everything in between. 

It adds a delicious “nutty” flavor without any nuts! 

Using sunflower seed butter makes this dressing super creamy without any added oils. 

And the hint of sea salt means you don’t have to add as much salt to let the flavor pop! 

How to Serve Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad

ATTN: This is important!

Be sure to let the salad marinade in the dressing for *at least* 10-15 minutes before serving to soften the sprouts. 

I like to let mine marinade for several hours for the best taste and consistency. 

Enjoy it immediately with hemp hearts sprinkled on top!

Enjoy this Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad with SunButter Dressing as an easy and unique side salad.

It’s perfect to make for entertaining, summer barbecues, or office potlucks. 

I love how it’s a fun way to eat brussels sprouts that doesn’t require roasting! 

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, though this is a salad that’s best served fresh. 

Note: The SunButter Dressing will stiffen over time when chilled.

If you keep the salad for over 24 hours, you may need to add a splash of water or lime to thin out the dressing. 

Enjoy!
