We’re going back into the archive for this one. I first created this Roasted Beet and Brussels Sprout Winter Salad back in 2021!

My husband Kyle and I were still living in Eugene, Oregon and I was filming recipes and posting them on my Instagram with no real plan or goal in mind. Little did I know that just a few years later I’d be calling myself a full-time Content Creator! 

While the original video leaves much to be desired (!), this salad is not to be missed. It’s a great side dish for any fall or winter meal, including a holiday gathering. 

This salad comes together in minutes. If you buy pre-cooked beets, this is a completely no-cook salad!

Simply chop all the veggies, throw in the pomegranate seeds and hazelnuts, toss with my favorite Roasted Shallot Dressing (or your personal favorite vinaigrette), and you’re done! 

If you’ve been with me from the beginning — thank you for sticking with me!

And if you’re a relatively new fan, thank you for being here! I’m so grateful for this community and love seeing your photos of my recipes. Be sure to share and tag me, @ollivia.adriance. Enjoy!

Ingredients for Roasted Beet and Brussels Sprout Salad

The beauty of this salad is that it features the best winter produce! Tis the season for Brussels sprouts, beets, and pomegranate so let’s make the most of them! Here’s everything you’ll need. 

  • Brussels Sprouts: A key component of this winter salad, Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite wintertime veggies. 
  • Carrots: I like to shave this on a box grater, but you can also use a food processor if that’s easier. 
  • Beet: Either roast a beet for this salad or go ahead and buy pre-cooked beets. This simple step will save you time. 
  • Basil: To get perfect basil strips, stack up several leaves of Basil and roll them tightly. Then, slice the roll thinly to get basil ribbons.

  • Pomegranate Arils: Yes, you could buy a full pomegranate or you could buy pomegranate seeds. Either way, this fruit is a delicious addition to salads, especially in the fall and winter months.  
  • Hazelnuts: Rich, buttery, and nutty, hazelnuts complement the sprouts, sweet beets, and grated shaved carrots so well. That said, any nut (or seed) will do. Pumpkin seeds would be a nice addition as would sliced almonds. 
  • Dates: These add a delectable chewy bite — the perfect contrast to the crunchy sprouts and carrots. 
  • Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette: My all-time favorite dressing! It’s sweet, tangy and works so well with this salad. 

How to Make Beet and Brussels Sprout Salad

Serve this as a light side to my Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Shepherd’s Pie, or pair it with my “Lazy Girl” Chicken Thighs for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. 
This salad is great for meal prep! You can dress the salad ahead of time so every bite soaks up all the shallot goodness, or save the dressing until you’re ready to eat.
