Do I have to shred the brussels sprouts?
The thin slices though are highly suggested, eating a whole raw Brussels sprout covered in dressing would just be weird, and awkward, and grossly crunchy…and just all wrong.
Will this recipe be mushy?
No, since the brussels sprouts are uncooked, they are crunchy, sharp, which creates a fresh salad.
