Ingredients
Slaw
- 1 pound (~454g) Brussels sprouts, shredded
- 3 ounces (~85g) carrot, shredded (optional)
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 ounces (~56g) slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons whole sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener or to taste (optiona)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
Instructions
- Optional, but recommended: Toast the almonds in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant and just starting to brown, 4-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Allow to cool.
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup until well combined. Taste and adjust acidity or sweetness as desired. Set aside.
- Separately in a large bowl, combine slaw ingredients: shredded sprouts, carrots, green onion, almonds, and cilantro. Toss or mix to combine.
- Drizzle dressing over slaw and toss to coat. For best flavor, allow slaw to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Best served chilled. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
