How many carbs in brussel sprouts?

You’ll be happy to hear that brussel sprouts are very low—8 grams for a full cup! Packed with fiber and micronutrients, brussel sprouts are especially healthful because they are in the cruciferous family, and these vegetables have potent compounds linked with cancer protection. I have these lovelies growing in my garden right now, along with a papaya tree that provided the papaya fruit you see pictured here. Yes, papayas can grow quite well in Southern California. In fact, several additional ingredients, such as red chili peppers, cilantro, green onions, and lemons came from my garden for this recipe. You can find all of these ingredients at your farmers market or local grocer quite easily, too.

How to cut brussel sprouts for this salad

You can shave Brussel sprouts yourself by finely slicing them with a sharp knife, or use your food processor to do the job. You can even find Brussels sprouts pre-shaved in some supermarkets. Just whip up the peanut vinaigrette and toss it into the brussel sprouts mixture. This salad holds up well in the fridge for several days, too. Mix it up for meal prep, picnics, potlucks, parties, or weekday dinners.
