Brazil Nut Free Brussels Sprout & Apple Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing

Shaved raw Brussels sprouts are the kind of ingredient that transforms a salad from forgettable to genuinely craveable, and pairing them with crisp apple slices and chewy dried cranberries takes the whole thing somewhere bright and a little unexpected. The honey-ginger dressing is the real star here — apple cider vinegar, fresh grated ginger, a touch of turmeric, and a drizzle of honey come together into something tangy, warm, and just slightly sweet. A short ten-minute rest after tossing lets the sprouts soften just enough to lose any bitterness while still holding their satisfying crunch. Thinly sliced shallot weaves through every bite, adding a mild sharpness that keeps the sweetness of the apple and cranberries in check. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about what might be hiding in a store-bought dressing. It works beautifully as a side dish alongside roasted proteins or grain bowls, but honestly it's hearty enough to stand on its own for a light lunch. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a clean herbal finish that pulls the whole bowl together.
