Brussels sprouts CAN be eaten raw! One of the best ways to eat these little beauties raw is to shred them very fine and mix them in with your greens and other favorite salad ingredients. They are more tender then you think and kind of taste like shredded cabbage or kale.
You will love this simple, but delicious salad! Hearty and bold flavors make it perfect for a simple lunch or paired with a soup and crusty bread. Brussels sprouts are high in fiber, low in calories and are one of the best sources of plant based Omega 3 fatty acids. They are one of my favorite vegetables to eat cooked, but they are surprisingly delicious raw.
