How to Make Italian Chopped Brussels Sprouts Salad

Step 1: Make the Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar or honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2: Shred the Brussels Sprouts
Use a food processor with the slicing blade to thinly shred the sprouts.

Alternatively, use a sharp knife to slice by hand. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Marinate the Sprouts
Pour the dressing over the shredded Brussels sprouts.

Use tongs to toss and evenly coat.

Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the sprouts to soften and absorb flavor.

Step 4: Add the Antipasto Fixings
To the marinated sprouts, add chickpeas, sliced salami, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis, thinly sliced red onion, cubed provolone, and shredded Parmesan.

Step 5: Toss & Serve
Toss everything until well combined.

Serve immediately with an extra grind of black pepper!

What to Serve It With

Crusty Italian bread or garlic knots

Grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak

A chilled glass of pinot grigio or sparkling water with lemon

Variations & Substitutions

Swap salami for pepperoni or roasted turkey

Use mozzarella balls or feta instead of provolone

Add artichokes, roasted peppers, or chopped cucumbers

Make it vegetarian by omitting salami and doubling the chickpeas

Storage Tips

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Meal Prep: Keep dressing separate until ready to eat for max freshness

Not freezer-friendly – raw veggies don’t freeze well

FAQs

Can I use a bag of pre-shredded Brussels sprouts?
Yes, that’s a great time-saver!

Is it spicy with the pepperoncinis?
No—it’s tangy, not hot. Use mild ones or omit if preferred.

What other beans can I use?
White beans or cannellini beans work beautifully in place of chickpeas.

Can I make this salad ahead?
Yes! Marinate the sprouts and prep ingredients in advance—combine just before serving.

Does it work as a full meal?
Absolutely! It’s protein-packed and satisfying on its own.

Can I double it for a party?
Yes! This salad scales up easily and is a great potluck or BBQ dish.
