Shave Brussels Sprout & Apple Crunch Detox Slaw

 
Shaved Brussels Sprout & Apple Detox Slaw | Fresh & Crunchy Clean Eating Salad

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.

Serves: 4
Cost per serving: ~$1.25

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced

  • 1 apple, julienned

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Seeds or nuts (optional)

Chef’s Tip

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