Winter Brussels Sprouts Slaw

This winter Brussels sprouts slaw is loaded with goodies like candied cashews and pomegranate arils. A gorgeous side dish perfect for the holiday season!

This Brussels sprouts slaw is easy and comes together pretty fast.

You can use ready-made candied nuts, but I have a really simple candied cashews recipe to make your own, and it only takes about 15 minutes. The cashews add a bit of crunch and a sweet touch that makes this slaw special.

The dressing is creamy but lightened up with Greek yogurt and a bit of olive oil and lemon juice.

The Granny Smith apples and pomegranates add a bit of that delicious sweet-sour flavor, and onions top off the ingredients list in this winter slaw recipe. So easy and so flavorful!

Pomegranates are my favorite winter fruit. It’s one of the few things that I actually enjoy about winter. 😛

I do see them year-round in some cases, but they’re definitely best when ripe and in-season.

Will you give this easy Brussels sprouts slaw a try?
