Shave Brussels Sprout & Apple Crunch Detox Slaw

Fresh, crisp, sweet, and tangy — a raw dish that actually excites the palate.

Why It Works

• Raw cruciferous veggies support detox pathways

• Apples add fiber and natural sweetness

• Light vinaigrette keeps everything balanced

Chef Balance Tip
Dijon + a drizzle of honey creates that perfect sweet-acidic restaurant balance.

Budget Hack

• Buy whole Brussels sprouts and shave them yourself

• Use apples already on hand

• Seeds instead of nuts = lower cost, same crunch

Optional Add-Ins
Pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, or pomegranate seeds when in season.

Chef’s Tip

Letting raw veggies rest in dressing makes them tender without cooking.
