I love this fall brussel sprout and apple slaw. I made this slaw for pulled pork tacos, but honestly, it good by itself and puts you in a fall mood. All you need to do is chop some apples and brussel sprouts in to thin pieces. Add that along with some dried cranberries and thin slices almonds topped with a creamy apple vinaigrette dressing. It’s literally so delicious.

I love cooking with apples this time of year. I think it’s fun to incorporate them into anything and everything. This slaw is no different. This slaw recipe is unique in the fact that it is a coleslaw without cabbage. This apple and brussel sprout slaw just puts me in such a fall mood. I like any kind of coleslaw, especially if it is slaw for pulled pork! There’s no better combo in my opinion. This would be perfect side or taco toppings.

Equipment You’ll Need

There is actually not much equipment you’ll need for this recipe. Just a good, sharp, chef’s knife, a large bowl, and maybe a mason jar to mix up your dressing in. That’s pretty much it.

I linked a few of my favorites lately down below. I really actually like all the Walmart fall candles right now. I burn so many of them this time a year, and you can’t beat the price. Also, here is a fun color in some of my favorite glassware. I have always been a big fan of Estelle. I have most every color in the stemmed and stemless wine glasses. And these fun napkins look perfect for fall! Plus, they are also on sale!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ok. So, the main contents of the slaw are a bag of brussel sprouts and two apples sliced into small little bits. You’ll also need some dried cranberries and sliced almonds and green onions. These has some amazing bite and texture to the salad. Literally that’s it. Super simple. Your time is going to be just cutting up the brussels and apples.

Then on to the dressing…you’ll need mayo, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard and some spices. It’s really easy, and honestly this creamy apple vinegarette is amazing on so many different types of salads and slaw.

How to Make This Simple Brussel Sprout and Apple Slaw

Step One:

Wash your brussel sprouts and apples. Slice the hard end off of each brussel sprout and then slice them long ways into little bits. You’ll slice your apples, remove the cores and repeat the same process. You’ll want them to be pretty thing, but not just paper then. You got me?

Step Two:

Add your sliced apples and brussel sprouts to a large serving bowl. Add in your sliced almonds, dried cranberries and green onions and toss. I would do this right before serving. This salad is not the best made ahead or left over. It’s best super fresh.

Step three:

In a separate small bowl or mason jar, combine all the ingredients for your dressing. Stir until completely combined and drizzle over the top of the slaw. You may or may not need all of the dressing. I love using a mason jar to make dressing. Just add all of the ingredients, close the lid and shake it up. It’s so simple, then just add the lid back and store any leftovers in the fridge.

Toss again, serve and enjoy!
