Wheat 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 that perfect sweet-tart-bitter balance in every forkful. 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 bright and warming that coats every thin strand of sprout beautifully. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. The short resting time after tossing is a small but important step; it lets the sprouts soften just enough to lose their raw edge while still holding that satisfying crunch. Thinly sliced shallot adds a gentle bite that keeps the whole thing from feeling too sweet, and the optional parsley finish brings a pop of color and freshness that makes it look as good as it tastes. This is the kind of salad that holds up well if you're making it ahead, since the dressing actually improves the texture as it sits — ideal for potlucks, meal prep, or a weeknight side that feels a little special.
