You will love this Brussels Sprout Salad with a vibrant lemon poppy seed dressing. It’s loaded with cashews, dried cranberries, blueberries, red cabbage, and dill.

It costs approximately $8.78 to make this salad. The salad makes four servings for about $2.20 per serving.

I love this salad because it is full of crunch, color, and flavor. The salad is crisp and refreshing and uses simple ingredients.

It is easy to make but feels and looks fancy, making it perfect to serve during the holidays or at a dinner party. However, I also love making it on Sunday to meal prep for lunch throughout the week. 

Ingredients and Estimated Cost:

Recipe Cost: $8.78
Per Serving Cost: $2.20
  • 24 ounces brussels sprouts – $4.49
  • ⅓ cup raw cashews – $1.27
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries – $0.50
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries – $0.95
  • ¼ cup purple cabbage – $0.09
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice – $0.14
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest – $0.01
  • 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds – $0.36
  • ⅓ cup olive oil – $0.59
  • 1 Tablespoon dill – $0.33
  • 1 garlic clove – $0.05

NOTE: The recipe prices are calculated by using grocery store websites. The actual cost of the recipe will vary depending on what ingredients you already have. I updated the prices for this recipe in January 2023.

What Kind of Brussels Sprouts Should I Use?

These young sprouts that are similar to baby cabbage are best when they are free from brown or discoloration around the edges of their leaves. Also, pick some that are not too large.

I used a bag of prewashed brussels sprouts. They were already tidy and needed very little maintenance. Slice the bottoms off, then sliced them vertically down the center. I find that this step helps the food process a bit better.

How To Make Brussels Sprouts Salad

  1. First, process the Brussels sprouts in a food processor until thinly shredded, then place them in a large mixing bowl. 
  2. Whisk together the lemon juice, zest, dill, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper using another bowl. 
  3. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
  4. Next, drizzle the dressing over the shredded sprouts and massage with your hands until the leaves have softened. 
  5. Finally, add in the cashews, cabbage, cranberries, and blueberries. Toss to combine before serving. 

***For complete recipe instructions, see the recipe card below.

The secret to this salad is to reach into the bowl with your hands and massage every leaf.

Grab them firmly. Squeeze them. Puncture the leaves. You are releasing the natural juices, making them more flexible and tender. You are forcing that dressing into every nook and cranny. Yum!

Recipe Variations

  • Feel free to use fresh mint or even parsley if you do not have dill.

Storage Tips

Serve: This salad can be served immediately after making or placed in the fridge for up to twenty-four hours before serving. 

Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Freeze: The recipe does not freeze well. Therefore, I do not recommend freezing it.
