I could eat a brussels sprouts salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Let me tell you why and how.
Why: I’m obsessed with brussels sprouts – they’re delicious anyway you prepare them: sauteed in a skillet, soy glazed, roasted, cooked in a soup, baked into a frittata.
How: for breakfast, you can shred brussels sprouts and top with a fried egg. For lunch, you can enjoy it as a salad just like today’s recipe, and for dinner, it can be an appetizer or entree, topped with your favorite protein (ie baked chicken.)
If you’re still looking for recipe ideas for your holiday table, make this salad – it’s refreshing, just sweet enough, colorful, healthy, and comes together very quickly.
The longer the brussels sit in the dressing, the more they soften, making leftovers even better!
