Instructions
Start by shredding the brussels sprouts. Remove any tough outer leaves and cut the brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and then cut them into thin slices. Alternatively you can use a mandoline or food processor to shred them.
Place all of the shredded brussels sprouts into a large bowl along with the sliced bell pepper, shredded carrots, scallions, cilantro, cashews and sesame seeds.
In a blender or nutribullet combine all of the ingredients for the dressing and blend until smooth.
Add the dressing to the salad and toss until everything is well coated. Leave the salad to rest for 10 minutes before serving, this will help to soften the shredded brussels sprouts.
