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: 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. I recommend leaving it for at least 30 minutes.
