Directions

  1. Thanks for reading! You can find the original recipe on my blog here: http://sallycooks.com/2013/11/15/brussels-sprout-slaw/ I love slaw but not the traditional southern slaw swimming in mayonnaise. I prefer an oil and vinegar based slaw like this one. You’ll want to prep this ahead of time if you’re making it for Thanksgiving because the brussels need some time to soak and break down in the dressing. They’ll still retain some lovely crunch and the pecans and raisins are a great addition I wouldn’t skip. I chopped the brussels by hand but throw them in a food processor to save time and get a more even shred if you like. What to do:whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup and some salt and pepper in a large bowladd brussels to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combinecover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving which will allow the sprouts to break down and softenadd the pecans and raisins before serving
