Happy Memorial Day!
Guess who’s coming to our picnic today? This slaw, that’s who.
I like traditional coleslaw, but I love this recipe – as in, LOOOVE it.
It’s perfect alongside a pulled pork sandwich and some oven fries, but it’s also simple enough to throw together for a weekday lunch, and pretty enough to serve when guests come for dinner.
I’ve dubbed this kale and Brussels sprouts slaw, “The Salad of Summer” and have already decided we will be eating it almost every week for the next three months.
And why not? It’s easy, it can be made ahead, it’s refreshing, beautiful, full of insanely healthy ingredients straight from God’s creation, and my entire family raved about it on it’s recent debut – toddler, included.

Made this summer slaw last night and ate it with my lunch today. It was heavenly. Perfect summer side dish; fresh and hearty. I am eager to make it more this summer, and am thinking of adding a couple extra ingredients, such as dried cherries. Thank you so much for sharing!
So glad you like it, Becky – the dried cherries sound like a great addition! 🙂
I love that there’s brussels in here!
Thanks, Lauren – they add great texture 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I love a good summer salad!
Gladly – me too! This one is nice for variety since the textures and flavors are a little more slaw-like. I’d love to hear what you think if you try it out. 🙂
Sounds delicious! 🙂
Thank you, Raia!
That looks so refreshing.
Thanks, Jessica, for visiting and for the comment!
These look so great!
Thanks, Renee. Glad you stopped by! 🙂
Yumm! I would not have thought about using brussel sprouts in a salad!
When they’re shredded like this, the texture is really wonderful. You
