Oh brussels sprouts, how I love thee.

They are probably the one vegetable that almost always end up in my cart when I go grocery shopping. I enjoy them countless ways, but with it being officially spring and all (!!) I wanted to share a fun spring-like flavor this time around… that flavor being LEMON, which I am obsessed with right now, I might add. I’ve been trying to start my mornings with lemon water (thank you Lestraundra 😉 ) and I’m definitely getting the hang of it! I feel better about grabbing my warm lemon water first thing versus going straight for the coffee. But I digress.

Where were we? Oh yes, lemon and spring flavors.

So for these brussels sprouts I decided I wanted a lemon pepper cashew dressing.

It’s a homemade dressing that is super simple, and can be made in a high-speed small blender or food processor in seconds.

what you need:

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours, drained & rinsed
  • juice of 1 lemon, plus zest
  • minced garlic
  • stoneground mustard
  • water
  • salt & pepper to taste

Just blend together all of your ingredients until you get a nice, creamy consistency.

Once your brussels sprouts are shredded and cooked down in a bit of oil, about 10-15 minutes, toss in your lemon pepper cashew dressing. And they’re ready to eat! They can be enjoyed either warm or cold 🙂 This meal is SO simple and can be ready in less than 30 minutes (once you have your cashews soaked and dressing together) 😉

  • Author: Ashley
  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 4-6 1x
  • Category: sides
  • Method: stovetop
  • Cuisine: american

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, shredded
  • 1 TBS olive oil

Lemon Pepper Cashew Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked, drained & rinsed
  • juice of small lemon (about 3 TBS), plus zest for more flavor
  • 2–3 TBS water, depending on how thick you want dressing
  • 1 tsp stoneground mustard, optional but I like the extra kick
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet on medium heat, cook down shredded brussels sprouts in one tablespoon of olive oil, about 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
  2. Make your dressing: combine cashews, lemon juice, zest if using, water, mustard, garlic, salt & pepper in small blender or food processor. Blend until creamy, add another tablespoon of water if you want thinner dressing.
  3. Toss cooked brussels sprouts with dressing, serve warm or cold, enjoy!

Notes

-Recipe can be easily doubled, and served warm or cold!
-Dressing can be made one or two days ahead of time to cut down down on prep. Double dressing recipe if doubling brussels sprouts.

-Store leftovers in fridge up to three days.

      Ah yay thank you! I hope you love them. It was a great way to change up my brussels sprouts love.
      And yes, totally try the lemon water, I honestly have been loving it. Sometimes I’ll throw a fresh cube of ginger in as well 😉 And I don’t know if I could give up coffee either…eek!

    Ashley! I don’t know what makes my heart happier, this amazing brussels salad (but for reals, I eat them everyday) or the fact that you are now into the AM lemon water! Both totally made my day <3

      <3 I have been LOVING it. Actually when helps me keep with it is NOT setting my coffee the night before, so that forces me to drink the lemon water first, then make coffee after. I even bought a whole bag of lemons ;-)

    Yesssss Brussels sprouts rule!!! I could seriously have this as a side dish for dinner every night. Or, can I just mix in some quinoa and chickpeas and call it a meal by itself? I mean, that dressing is just calling my name.

    Hi Ashley, I just saw this recipe the other day in your brussels sprouts round up and had to get some brussels sprouts on my next grocery run. This sounded too good to wait! I just made it for lunch, and it turned out great! I did use the lemon juice and lemon zest, which made it a little too lemony for me, but I will definitely make it again! Thank you!
