Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with freshly grated brussels sprouts, tender zucchini, crisp cucumber and sweet cranberries topped with caesar dijon dressing. This is one of my favorite winter salads!
I had every intention of posting a yummy pumpkin recipe today, but I may have slacked a bit on the photo editing front (the nerve!) and will have to keep y’all waiting just a tad bit longer.
I’m awful, I know. Though I have it on good authority that adding a little pumpkin to my Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is quite magical.
So get your pumpkin fix by doing that, then make this salad!
Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Cranberries and Feta
Crisp chopped veggies, creamy feta, and chewy cranberries combine to make a tasty salad with an even tastier caesar-dijon dressing. We’re totally loving this shredded sprout salad right now!

As written the recipe yields 2 meal-sized salads or 4 side salads.
Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Cranberries and Feta
Ingredients
- 1/2 zucchini, diced
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 10 raw brussels sprouts (coarsely grated or shredded)
- 2-4 TBSP dried cranberries
- 2-4 TBSP crumbed or cubed feta cheese
CAESAR DIJON DRESSING
- 1 TBSP dijon mustard
- 1 TBSP your favorite all-natural caesar dressing
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Get chopping!
- Cube your zucchini and cucumber [and feta if you’re using a large brick!] and add to a large bowl. Next add a hearty handful or two of dried cranberies [or craisins!] and your feta if you haven’t already added it.
- Grab your brussels sprouts and, using a box/cheese grater, coarsely grate them over the salad, leaving the ends behind.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together your dressing and pour over the salad.
- Toss to lightly coat and dig in!
- This salad tastes great straight from the mixing bowl and can also be served chilled!

Is it wrong that this post makes me sing Brittney Spears, Oops, (s)he did it again. I love the idea of this salad. I want to make this for Thanksgiving. Pinning it for sure. I can’t wait to try this puppy.
Speaking of cuteness, that kid! My god, she’s adorable.
Ooh, this looks delicious! I’m always looking for ways to get creative in the salad department so these ingredients will definitely make it into my cart at the grocery store next time! And that Chipotle Sweet Potato salad? Somehow I feel like that would be a hit at a party!
Okay, so this salad would be good for my health, but that banana bread would be SO good for my soul. I need help though – how would you add pumpkin? Pumpkin and banana? Or sub out bananas for the pumpkin? I’m not good at this kind of thing.
That combination of feta and cranberries is the BEST.
Yum that salad looks so delicious! I need to eat more brussel sprouts I was having lots of them and then have kind of forgotten about them but need to get back on board 🙂
This is a beautiful fresh, healthy salad. Love it!
Wow that looks lovely and I really HATE brussels sprouts…maybe having them raw might change my mind…… Mia is just a cutie pie 😉 🙂
I hate sprouts but this looks delish.
Mia is soooo cute. I just want to squeeze those cheeks and give her a cuddle.
I love making salad with brussels sprouts, but I’ve never tried grating them before! This looks awesome!
Lovee cucumbers! Great salad 🙂
This salad would be right up my husbands alley. When the weather warms up in Tassie I’ll whip one up. Pumpkin in choc chip bread sounds amazing and right up MY alley (anything chocolate is!!)
Green is a legit Halloween color too! I love this. And your little raccoon!
