This Brussels Sprouts Slaw Has A Delicious Gut-Healing Ingredient

We're always excited to try a new take on a classic dish. With coleslaw on the side of just about everything, this Brussels sprouts coleslaw from Tasting Table Cooking With Friends by Geoff Bartakovics, CEO and co-founder of Tasting Table, and Todd Coleman, an award-winning food writer, is a welcome surprise. It features the refreshing crunch of raw Brussels sprouts balanced with the grounding, earthy flavors of miso and the refreshing tang of a lime-infused dressing.

Instead of the usual mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar, this recipe includes light, healthy ingredients, including white miso paste, which is seriously gut-healing. Miso is made from cooked soybeans, water, and koji, a fungus used to ferment soybeans. The fermentation process of miso brings out the fifth flavor, or umami, or a savory taste, which adds a grounding element to the dish. During the fermentation process, the miso produces lactobacillus bacteria, a natural probiotic found in fermented foods. These probiotics in the miso paste can help populate the gut with healthy bacteria, support easeful digestion, and boost the immune system.
