These tiny cabbages are perfectly shredded and slightly sweet. The fresh cranberries give them a refreshingly tangy taste too. You’ll love this shaved brussels sprouts salad.
Are Brussels Sprouts Keto
Both Brussels sprouts and cranberries are what I call moderately keto-friendly. If you control your portions, you can definitely enjoy them on a keto diet. But, when you make a salad out of them, combining a little bit of everything, the total carb count is actually lower per serving.
In just one serving of this incredible side dish, there are only 4 grams net carbs.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts
This salad is one of the best ones you’ll ever make! If you normally aren’t a fan of the cabbage-like texture of whole Brussells sprouts, then try shaving them into shreds. This turns them into what looks and tastes like a slaw salad.
The easiest way to shave Brussels sprouts is with a food processor. If you don’t have one, the next best thing is a mandolin slicer. You can shave them with a chef knife too, but that’s the most difficult option.
Brussels Sprouts and Cranberries
This turned out to be a dairy-free recipe and it’s incredibly delicious! The goat cheese crumbles are delightfully tangy. I love how they enhance and round out the flavors of the cranberries, walnuts, and bacon.
This is a very savory salad!
If dairy doesn’t bother you, you could use feta cheese instead of goat cheese. Sprinkle some shredded parmesan cheese on top too. Cheese is the easiest ingredient to change when you want to experiment with recipes.
Keto Cranberry Recipe
Save this recipe to your Pinterest board so that you can make the vinaigrette again. It’s divine. Red wine vinegar, oil, bacon, shallot, and sweeter with a sugar substitute. It’s savory, salty and sweet all at the same time.
Mix everything together and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. The flavors from the vinaigrette will seep deeper into the Brussels sprouts, making it taste stronger and better than ever.
Low-Carb Brussels Sprouts Recipe
There are so many different ways to cook Brussels sprouts! This salad is my favorite way – even my kids love it. I also love to use my air fryer to make crispy keto parmesan Brussels sprouts. They are the most delicious side dish.
Bacon is another one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. My kids love it when I find new ways to add it to food. These keto bacon and cheese biscuits go with just about anything.
