Shaved Brussels sprouts are a great way to showcase new textures and flavors in a salad, especially this zesty, Thai-inspired Coconut Curry Brussels Sprout Salad with papaya, a crunchy granola topping, and a flavorful vinaigrette. All you have to do is shave fresh Brussels with a mandolin or sharp knife, and toss in cilantro, green onions, and papaya. Then mix up a vibrant ginger-curry vinaigrette to toss into the salad. Top it with a sprinkle of your favorite coconut-flavored granola (or my own home-made Turmeric Hemp Granola) and you are good to go!

This healthy, delicious completely plant-based (vegan), gluten-free salad holds up well, making it the perfect addition for picnics, potlucks, and meal prep.
