Late Autumn Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
Roasted shaved brussels sprout salad has all of your favorite autumn flavors. The sprouts are first roasted and then tossed in an orange lemon vinaigrette. You'll find sweet potatoes, toasted walnuts, mandarin oranges, and pomegranate all hiding in this healthy and delicious side dish.

Today is about all the cold weather eats we love. They've come together (at last!) in one delicious bowl that we're calling a Late Autumn Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad. Late autumn as in right now and for the rest of this chilly season.
We've got a whole pile of brussels that have been roasted to deliciousness because roasting brussels is the only way to go. In this salad, we're using shaved brussels, which are all kinds of awesome. Once they're roasted, they packed full of delicious flavor and have lots of little crispy bits on them. Serious goodness here.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad Ingredients
In the name of eating all the good things, I've piled this shaved brussels sprout salad full of winter favs. We've got:
- Sweet potatoes. Roasted to bite-sized perfection. Sweet. Delicious. Happy.
- Walnuts. Popped into the oven until toasted and full of flavor.
- Pomegranate. Sweet jeweled candies. Pretty pretty pretty and oh so tasty. (I have to hide these from my daughter or she'll literally eat an entire pomegranate, one tiny seed at a time.)
- Mandarin oranges. We've already been over their sweet deliciousness. They have all the love all season long.

Mandarin Orange Lemon Vinaigrette
Have you ever used mandarin oranges to make salad dressing? Ya, me neither until now. Since this salad is all things autumn and winter and mandarin oranges fall firmly into that category, I knew they were the ones.
I often like to add some maple syrup or honey to salad dressings that are destined for cold weather salads. (I'm looking at you, kale salad!) Heartier greens (as well as Brussels) can be a touch bitter. Adding sweetness to the dressing balances this out.
Mandarin oranges are super sweet. Like I need to tell you that. That's why we eat them by the fist full while they're in season.
But since they have so much natural sweetness, there's no need to add any extra to the dressing.

Delicious! I didn’t bother with roasting the walnuts and it came out just fine.
i made this salad several years ago for a holiday meal and it was a HUGE hit! It disappeared in nothing flat. I haven’t made it sense, but found the recipe again on Instagram and I’m looking forward to making it for our Thanksgiving meal.
This recipe is very yummy!! All my family liked it.
Oh. My. Gosh. I needed a vegan recipe for brussel sprouts to take to Thanksgiving and found this one on Pintrest. I made it today to make sure it would work for later this week, it is amazing! This will definitely go into our dinner rotations. Absolutely perfect flavors mixed together and I lobe I don’t have to re-warm it when we get there. Its perfect room temperature!
I am making this the day before thanksgiving. Should I wait to put the dressing in tomorrow so it isn’t soggy?
Yes! Keep the dressing separate and mix the salad just before you serve it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Kristen!
I just discovered your Instagram and web page, and so far, I love all of your recipes! I cook every night for my family when I get home from working all day because I am passionate about providing tasty, healthy dinners and not dining out. You’ve given me some great go-to recipes, so thank you! I did this salad for a potluck and was given a ton of compliments! Keep coming up with great recipes!
I am so happy to hear that you are finding recipes here that your family loves! Hooray!!
Can you make this ahead of time? Looks awesome
Yes! You can make all the parts and then toss the salad in the dressing just before serving it. 🙂
Is this supposed to be served warm? Do you know how it is cold?
I’ve had it both warm and cold and it is delicious both ways!
I couldn’t wait until autumn to make this and I’m so happy I didn’t wait. It was amazing. All the flavors were perfect!
So happy you liked it!!
Served this with your Cranberry Orange Chicken recipe for Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit– even with non-Brussels sprouts lovers! I left out the sweet potato this time (as we were having butternut squash in another dish), and I subbed toasted pecans for the walnuts but everything else was just as written. Great vinaigrette, great combination of flavors, and a beautiful presentation to boot. Thanks so much, Kristen!
That makes me so happy to hear! Two of my recipes on one table – that is such an honor!!
