Substitutions for this Vegan Brussels Sprouts Salad


  • Sugar Free – Omit Maple Syrup and use 4 drops of Liquid Stevia instead. I love Nunatruals Liquid Stevia because it doesn’t have an after taste.

  • Low Carb – Swap out Sweet Potatoes for Spaghetti Squash or Roasted Cauliflower.


  • Oil Free – Cook the Brussels sprouts in Ghee or Butter instead!


  • Don’t Have Tahini? – Use a nut butter like Cashew Butter.


Can You Dress A Vegan Brussels sprouts Salad Ahead of Time?


You can dress this salad ahead of time but I wouldn’t dress it more than a few hours in advanced. Or else the kale will get soggy.


Can you Eat this Vegan Brussels sprouts Salad Raw?


Sometimes I eat this Brussels sprout salad raw when I don’t feel like cooking! They add a satisfying crunch to the salad. They taste neutral like any other basic salad green. They’re not bitter.

Is it safe to Eat Raw Brussels sprouts?


Unlike certain other vegetables, grains, and legumes, Brussels sprouts don’t contain some of the common antinutrients that require cooking.


What is The Best Way to Shred/Shave Brussels sprouts?


  • The best way to shred Brussels sprouts is with a food processor. Using the chopping blade on the food processor will slice through the brussels sprout in a few quick pulses. The downside to this is that you may have some larger pieces.
  • You can also use a Mandolin. Just be careful not to graze your knuckles
  • I like to slice my Brussels sprouts with a knife. It’s Theraputic and if you’re good with a knife it doesn’t take too long.
  • Buy the Brussels sprouts pre-shredded for the ultimate time saver.


Can You Shred Brussels Sprouts Ahead of Time?


Of course you can shred Brussels sprouts ahead of time for this vegan Brussels sprouts salad!
