This 15-minute shaved Brussel sprout salad/slaw with apples in a sweet & tangy lemon poppy seed dressing is a bright, crisp, crunchy, delicious year-round and holiday side dish!
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, sugar, poppy seeds and salt. Set aside.
Half Brussels’ sprouts lengthwise, then slice thinly. Add to dressing.
Slice the apple into short matchsticks. Add to the dressing. Mix well.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours before enjoying.

Notes
For quick prep time: Use tools like a mandoline or food chopper, if you have them, to speed up the sprout shredding/ apple slicing time.
Adjust to your taste: I.e., tweak the lemon poppy seed dressing to your liking, tasting and adjusting as you like. Choose a sweet vs. sweet-tart flavored apple, etc.
Leave it to rest: Allowing the Brussels sprout and apple salad time for all the flavors to meld will produce an even better-tasting slaw and remove some bitterness in the raw sprouts. We recommend leaving it for at least 30 minutes.
