Brussels Sprouts Slaw

Pretty enough for a holiday table, Brussels Sprouts Slaw is a festive twist on a classic side.

I was given a pretty stalk of fresh brussels sprouts by my neighbor. But instead of roasting them I decided to try something new. Brussels sprouts look like tiny heads of cabbage so I decided to shred them and make them into a holiday-appropriate slaw.

Do you know what jicama is? It’s a root vegetable that tastes a lot like an extra crunchy apple. This is what one looks like in case you aren’t familiar. Fresh jicama goes great with the fresh brussels sprouts and pomegranate seeds.

I added some slivered almonds for even more crunch. And the dressing is a mix of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, a little fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. It’s delightfully appropriate for fall and winter. This slaw will taste great alongside your turkey and ham dinners! Give it a try.
