Helpful Tips

For added convenience, you can use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts available in grocery stores. Feel free to mix in other fall fruits like pears or pomegranate seeds to enhance the seasonal touch. For those with a nut allergy, sunflower seeds make a great substitute for pecans, and you can swap feta cheese with goat cheese for a creamier texture.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the apples may brown slightly, but the salad will still be delicious.

Pairings

This Brussels Sprouts and Apple Salad pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or a hearty butternut squash soup. For a delightful autumn-inspired beverage, try serving it with a glass of crisp, chilled white wine or a warm apple cider.
