Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw with Edamame
Never shredded brussels sprouts and made a salad? You’re missing out. Fear not, this Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw is here to save the day!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole brussels sprouts
- 3 cups shredded cabbage or cole slaw
- 1/2 large cucumber
- 1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
- 1 mango or 1 cup frozen, thawed
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp Sambal (or chili paste, sriracha, hot sauce)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Remove outer leaves from brussels sprouts and rinse thoroughly.
- Chop off bottoms and slice length-wise into long strips (it should look similar to chopped cabbage).
- Add in chopped cabbage or cole slaw.
- Julienne cucumbers into long strips and add to salad.
- Add thawed edamame.
- Dice a mango and add to salad.
- In a small frying pan, add almonds and heat on low. These will toast pretty fast (2-4 minutes), so keep an eye on them. Once they start to turn slightly brown, add sesame seeds. Toast for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add to salad.
- Chop 2 handfuls of cilantro and add to salad.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl or jar and mix. Taste and adjust accordingly.
- Pour over salad, mix and let sit for at least 10 minutes prior to eating. Enjoy!
