Hi Positive Eaters,
Okay...you are looking at the subject line and saying "Brussel Sprouts...really". These weird little cabbage looking things get a bad wrap. When fresh they are actually quite sweet and pack a ton of amazing nutrients. None of that really matters though because this recipe tastes like a dessert. That is right a salad that tastes like a dessert. Give it a try and if you don't like it...well I will certainly eat it for you!
Shredded Brussel Sprout Salad
Ingredients
1 1/4 lbs Brussel Sprouts
1 cup Slivered Almonds
1/3 cup Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Handful or Raisins and/or Dried Cranberries
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Shred or chop brussel sprout and place in a salad bowl (a food processor can also be used). Add slivered almonds, dried cranberries and/or raisins. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
Neat Fact: brussel sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable and are very good for your lungs and heart. Try out out other cruciferous vegetables such as kale, spinach or collard greens!
Stay Positive,
Matthew

I <3 brussel sprouts! I think my favorite way to eat them is roasted. The flavor is amazing and the outside gets slightly crunchy. I bet a roasted brussel sprout salad with those toppings would be amazing! Possibly with some roasted yams. AH! You've got me plotting.
Best,
Nora
