Ingredients and Substitutions
Shaved Brussels Sprouts – you can sometimes find these already prepared and shredded (similar to shaved cabbage for coleslaw). But if you can’t, you can easily shred them yourself (more on that below).
Despite the title of this recipe, you can substitute shaved Brussels sprouts with another shredded cruciferous vegetable, such as cabbage, kale, or broccoli.
Sliced Apples – any kind will do, I used Fuji. You can also use another sweet fruit, dried or fresh, such as sliced fresh pears or dried cranberries.
Candied Pecans – or another candied nut, store-bought or homemade (such as these candied walnuts) is fine. If you want, you can use any plain nut as well, if you don’t want to fuss with candied nuts or want a lower sugar option.
Red onion
For the dressing: Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Feel free to use agave or sugar as a vegan substitute for the honey.
