Low-Carb Apple Cider Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad

This recipe is so, so, so quick and this salad makes an excellent side dish to a steak or other meaty dish.

I never thought I’d ever say this, but I love brussels sprouts … even though I have to write “brussels” like it’s a plural every time and it drives me crazy. I’m being bratty in my title because I know that people spell it incorrectly when they look for a recipe like this. That’s the perk of being an online marketing analyst by day and a food blogger by night.

Anyway… it’s taking me some time to acquire a taste for cooked brussels sprouts, but in raw form, I’m loving them. This shaved brussels sprout salad recipe is a new favorite side dish to go with steak.

Today I’m working in apples without actually working in apples. Meet our cheat: apple cider vinegar.

You’ll be able to make two sides of this salad with this recipe, or one meal salad. I think it makes a more interesting side than a main dish. I also had it as a snack tonight, so you can do that too!
