Warm Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad with Farro

If you know anything about me, you know I have a deep love for brussels sprouts.

I always say, if you have never been a fan of brussels sprouts, then you have clearly had it the wrong way.

Roasted brussels sprouts are the BEST way to eat them and they’re so extremely versatile.

I always have shaved brussels for breakfast.

When I come home from the grocery store on the weekends, the first thing I do is trim my brussels sprouts (buy them in bulk!) and pop them into the food processor to shred. I use the slicing disc and it makes it so easy!

Warm roasted brussels sprouts salad with farro recipe

This may be one of my favourite salads to date.

There’s shaved brussels sprouts, whole roasted brussels sprouts, hazelnuts, and farro.

I tossed this salad in my favourite Dijon shallot dressing and the warm farro and roasted brussels sprouts just warm this salad through and brings out all the flavours!

I don’t like brussels sprouts

Uhh, then you probably won’t like this recipe.

However, I urge you to try something new and perhaps you don’t like brussels sprouts because you haven’t cooked it the right way?

I can’t have hazelnuts

You can use any other nut that you like. It’s mostly for texture so it won’t change the flavour of this salad if you swap in another nut.

You can omit altogether if you want.

Can I use something else other than farro?

Quinoa or pearl couscous would be awesome too!

I just love the chewiness of the farro and gives great texture as well.

Can I use store-bought dressing?

Of course! I suggest a vinaigrette as opposed to something creamy.

Can I add in other ingredients to make the salad more “full”

Sure!

Here are some great options:

• Grilled chicken
• Dried fruit
• Swiss chard
• Other delicate leafy greens
• More roasted vegetables!
