Can I make the sesame dressing ahead of time?

Yes, the rice vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce, agave nectar, and sesame oil dressing can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Whisk in the olive oil just before tossing with the sprouts.

What if I don't have agave nectar?

You can substitute agave nectar with an equal amount of maple syrup or another liquid sweetener to balance the tangy flavors in the dressing.

How long should I refrigerate the slaw before serving?

The recipe suggests refrigerating the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the brussels sprouts to slightly soften, but it can be chilled longer.

Can I add other vegetables to this slaw?

While the recipe focuses on brussels sprouts, you could certainly add finely shredded carrots, red cabbage, or bell peppers for extra color and crunch if desired.
