This flavorful Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples and Chickpeas is a perfect holiday side dish that is fully gluten free and dairy free.
Thanksgiving is a big deal in our household because we are a foodie family, so we love creating and trying new recipes every holiday season. We rarely make the same thing twice! As a food blogger, I try to develop 1-2 new side dishes for the holiday season (desserts are my real speciality) and this year I knew I wanted to create some sides that were filling enough that they would be a good addition to the table for those who may not eat meat.
If you are on the hunt for Thanksgiving and holiday side dishes, then add this recipe to the list! Brussels sprouts and apples are a classic salad combo, but we are taking it up a notch by using a mix of roasted and raw Brussels sprouts, plus adding some roasted chickpeas for crunch and protein. Everything is tossed in a simple honey mustard vinaigrette to pull it all together.
Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples and Chickpeas FAQ
Brussels Sprouts
We are using two types of Brussels sprouts in this recipe- roasted and raw. This gives the salad more texture and flavor. It's like a roasted vegetable salad, but the lettuce is the raw Brussels.
Chickpeas
I added chickpeas to this salad for flavor, texture, and protein. This salad makes a great vegetarian option at the holidays for those who may not eat meat. The crunchy, salty chickpeas are a higher protein addition versus adding nuts. Of course, if you don't like chickpeas, adding some roasted walnuts would be lovely!
The Dressing
This Brussels sprout salad calls for a honey-mustard vinaigrette. If you're vegan, you can totally replace the honey with maple syrup! The dressing is very easy to make, you just combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
How to store this Brussels sprouts salad
This salad tastes best fresh and if you are serving it for a dinner party or holiday dinner, make it as close to eating time as possible! If you have leftovers, you can keep them stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The chickpeas won't stay as crispy, but it will still be delicious.
