    A CLOSE UP OF SHAVED PURPLE BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH ORANGES & POPPYSEEDS

    Purple Brussels sprouts with their sweet and nutty flavour were wonderful in this salad paired with creamy avocado, sweet juicy oranges and crunchy poppyseeds.

    These mini beauties are a cross between classic sprouts and red cabbage. They have dark purple leaves with green and red-violet streaks.

    The difference between Purple & Green Brussels Sprouts

    Apart from their colour, purple sprouts are less pungent than green varieties. With a sweeter, earthy, almost nutty flavour.
    Their heads which are packed looser than green sprouts so they cook faster.
    Like green sprouts, they are a good source of fibre, folate, and vitamin A, C, K, and B6. Their purple colour comes from the anthocyanin flavonoids in them providing added antioxidants.

    How to make sprouts salad

    1 PREPARE THE SPROUTS
    Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the dry base of each sprout. But do not cut too close or the sprout will come apart. Peel away any outer browning, yellow or blemished leaves.
    Shred your Brussels sprouts in a food processor with the slicing attachment. Or you could also slice them by hand. Then transfer to a mixing bowl.
    Shake the vinaigrette in a glass jar and pour over the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper, and massage the dressing into the sprouts, to absorb the flavours.
