High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Brussels Sprout & Apple Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing

Shaved raw Brussels sprouts make a surprisingly tender, almost silky base when they get a chance to soak up a bright, tangy dressing — and that short 10-minute rest is what transforms this from a simple toss into something genuinely craveable. Crisp apple slices and thinly sliced shallot add sweetness and a little bite, while unsweetened or honey-sweetened dried cranberries bring just enough chew and tartness to keep every forkful interesting. The dressing is where this salad really shines: apple cider vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, real honey, fresh ginger, and a pinch of turmeric come together into something zippy and warming at the same time. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, which matters when you're trying to avoid the sneaky sweeteners that show up in bottled dressings, packaged cranberries, and even some store-bought vinaigrettes. Making the dressing from scratch takes about two minutes and gives you complete control over exactly what goes into the bowl. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley at the end lifts the whole thing with a little herby freshness. This is the kind of salad that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation.
