Carrageenan 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 gives you sweet, tart, and savory all in one bowl. The honey-ginger dressing is whisked together from pantry staples — apple cider vinegar, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a touch of turmeric — so there's nothing processed or mysterious going into it. That matters a lot when you're avoiding additives like carrageenan, which can sneak into bottled dressings and pre-packaged salad kits under names that are easy to overlook on a label. Making the dressing yourself from scratch takes about two minutes and gives you complete control over every single ingredient. A short 10-minute rest after tossing lets the sprouts soften just enough to lose any bitterness while soaking up all that bright, gingery flavor. The shallot adds a mild savory bite, and a handful of fresh parsley at the end keeps everything feeling light and vibrant. This is the kind of salad that holds up well, making it a smart choice for meal prep or bringing to a gathering.
