Cashew Free Brussels Sprout & Apple Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing

Shaved raw Brussels sprouts make a surprisingly tender, almost silky base when dressed and left to rest for a few minutes — and this salad takes full advantage of that trick. Crisp apple slices bring a juicy sweetness that plays beautifully against the slight bitterness of the sprouts, while dried cranberries add little bursts of tart chew throughout. The honey-ginger dressing ties everything together with warmth and brightness, and the touch of turmeric gives it a gorgeous golden hue without overpowering the other flavors. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — fresh produce, pantry staples, and a simple whisked dressing — so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything. This is the kind of salad that earns a permanent spot in your rotation, whether you're serving it alongside a weeknight dinner or bringing it to a potluck where you want something that actually stands out. The short rest time before serving is the secret weapon: it softens the sprouts just enough to make them irresistible without losing any of that satisfying crunch.
