I have a friend who a lot of people would call a picky eater. I hate being labeled based on what I eat, so I prefer to think of my friend as simply knowing what she likes and what she doesn’t like. Who am I kidding – she’s picky (but we love her)!

Try a different, great Brussels sprouts salad.

Brussels sprouts came up the other night when we were out to dinner (we talk about other interesting things too, I swear) and as I expected, she crinkled her nose at their mention.

This recipe is an oldie but goodie. I originally posted it in 2014.

“Brussels sprouts are mushy and stinky!” she declared. I tried to lay it on that they really aren’t, but she wouldn’t hear of it.

If anything could change my friend’s mind about this small and leafy green veggie, it would be this Brussels sprouts salad with carrots, apples, pistachios & poppy seed dressing (or maybe these Savory Waffles with Ham, Cheddar, and Brussels Sprouts).

The Brussels sprouts are shaved thin, and there is no need to cook them. Add that to the mix of snappy carrots, crisp apples, and salted, crunchy pistachios, and mushy is nowhere to be found!

To get the Brussels sprouts nice and thin, I used a food processor fitted with the shredder attachment. Wash them and peel off the first one or two leaves from each, then cut off the tough bottom part before shredding them.

To keep the chopped apples from turning brown while I completed my prep, I drizzled a bit of lemon juice over them.

The sweet-and-slightly tangy vegan poppy seed dressing is a bit creamy, and it pulls all the flavors together really well. Bonus: it’s a cinch to make.

    Patricia, I often use poppy seeds in desserts but haven't used them in homemade salad dressing. It's a great idea. I love the combination of vegetables, fruit and nuts too.

    Brussels sprouts as the basis of a salad are so delicious! With the apples and sweet poppyseed dressing, I'd bet your picky eater friend might just love it...if you didn't tell her what she was eating first. ;)
