This Blueberry Brussels Sprouts Salad screams spring and summer! It is my new favorite salad, I have been making it nonstop.

Salad Ingredients

This salad has all of my favorite ingredients in one big salad bowl! It is a powerhouse of healthy ingredients too, lots of super foods in this one! It is so fresh and delicious!

  • Brussels Sprouts-Like I mentioned above, shaved Brussels sprouts are so good in salads. You are going to LOVE them…even if you think you don’t like Brussels sprouts. I promise you will love these crisp shredded Brussels.
  • Spinach-I also add in finely chopped spinach for a different shade of green and boost of nutrients. Kale would also work!
  • Blueberries-Fresh blueberries add a burst of juicy sweetness. This salad is SO good when blueberries are in season.
  • Avocado-Avocado makes everything better, it was a no brainer for this salad.
  • Almonds-Sliced almonds add a nice crunch to the salad. Plus, I love the healthy fats and protein they bring to the salad. Walnuts or pistachios would work well too! If you want to sweeten things up, candied pecans would be a great addition!
  • Red Onion-Thin red onion slices add color and flavor.
  • Feta Cheese-Crumbled feta cheese adds a creamy element that is so delicious! If you need the salad to be vegan, you can leave out the cheese. Parmesan cheese or goat cheese are good options too!

Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

I like to finish this salad with a simple Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing. It is so refreshing and the poppy seeds make it extra pretty! You can find poppy seeds in the spice aisle at any grocery store. If your store has a bulk bin section, you can usually find them there too.

To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, garlic, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar. Whisk or shake until well combined.
