Dice the red bell pepper into small squares and grate the carrot.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh coriander leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, mung bean sprouts, chopped bell pepper, grated carrot, and halved cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, black pepper, and garlic powder to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mix and gently toss until all the vegetables are well-coated.
Sprinkle the finely chopped coriander leaves over the salad for garnish.
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh side dish or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
