1. Vegan Brussels Sprouts Salad with Oil-free Citrus Vinaigrette, Pistachios and Orange-infused Cranberries
This bright and fresh vegan brussels sprouts salad--in fact, the very dish pictured here on my Great Grandmother's antique china--is the dish I served to my non-vegan extended family on Thanksgiving. And it was a huge hit!
It's not often that a salad can compete with holiday table fare like mashed potatoes and gravy (vegan, of course!), stuffing, baked sweet potatoes (this year, I made Whiskey Maple-glazed Sweet Potatoes--recipe coming soon!) and the like. But my Mom couldn't stop oohing and aahing over this vegan brussels sprouts salad! Even my son who normally doesn't care for salad thought it was really good.
What I love about this Vegan Brussels Sprouts Salad
The shaved brussels sprouts have a nice, crisp texture that holds up well when dressed, which is especially helpful when entertaining since you can make it ahead without the salad getting limp. I made it early in the day (and photographed it!) then put it in the fridge for several hours with no problems.
And I really love the oil-free citrus vinaigrette I made especially for this vegan brussels sprouts salad. It's bright and lively with the tang and slight sweetness of lemon and orange, and gets just a bit of bite from the shallot. The miso and almond butter add a hint of richness and balance the acid of the citrus without resorting to oil--but stay nicely in the background where they belong.
The finishing touches on this vegan brussels sprouts salad--the bright, fresh mint, crunchy pistachios, and barely-sweet orange-infused cranberries--elevate this to a 'next level' side dish worthy of any special occasion.
So when you're combing through all those vegan holiday recipes this year, don't be afraid to volunteer to bring the salad!

never made a lasagna by myself in my life, until your recipe! I love all the step by step pics to help me make sure I’m on the right track. I made the cashew ricotta, walnut sauce and cashew Parmesan the day before. Then the next day I grilled the veggies, boiled the lasagna noodles and assembled the lasagna! It really didn’t feel like a difficult chore, especially breaking down the steps like that and it was soooo delicious ? Really is the best lasagna recipe eve
