Elements
Brussels sprouts – The principle ingredient; I purchased entire brussels sprouts and shredded them in my meals processor. Nevertheless, to avoid wasting time, you could possibly purchase pre-shaved brussels sprouts if they’ve them on the grocery retailer.
Crimson onion – Mandatory to offer this slaw extra taste. Shallot could be a advantageous substitution in case you want another ingredient.
Cheese – Parmesan cheese or gruyere work rather well on this slaw, so that is what I am recommending. You should purchase shaved parmesan in a container, or use a peeler to shave parmesan from a block.
Dried cranberries – Dried fruit corresponding to cranberries or dried cherries add a touch of sweetness and tart, so do not omit!
Pumpkin seeds – Largely for texture (slightly crunch), so if wanted, sunflower seeds are one other sensible choice.
Almonds – Slivered almonds, or sliced almonds, work finest, as would chopped walnuts.
Olive oil – The principle ingredient within the dressing, so select a high-quality further virgin olive oil.
Lemon juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice, slightly than store-bought juice, will end in the most effective taste.
Sweetener – I used honey and I feel it pairs nicely with the lemon and dijon, however maple syrup or agave would work as nicely.
Dijon mustard – I am not a mustard individual in any respect, however slightly little bit of dijon provides the most effective taste to vinaigrettes (belief me!).
Vinegar – Apple cider vinegar is barely candy and pairs nicely with the dried cranberries within the slaw. White wine vinegar is one other good possibility.

Step 1: Make the dressing. Begin by whisking the entire French dressing components — olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper — collectively in a small bowl or glass measuring cup, then put aside.

Step 3: Add remaining components. To that very same bowl, add the pink onion, parmesan, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and almonds. Then, add HALF of the French dressing and use kitchen tongs to toss. Add extra dressing as desired and luxuriate in!
