Roasted Brussels Sprout Salad
I shared earlier this week my method for roasting brussels sprouts and now you get to see what I did with them. This salad is unique and will surely surprise people when they first take a bite.
There is no question that brussels sprouts have a lot of haters out there and this week there were 2 or 3 people who tasted this salad and said it was the first time they every liked the little mini cabbages. They loved the salad and even admitted that the sprouts tasted great and worked well paired with all these other ingredients!
I served this salad warm, but it could also work well with the brussels sprouts being warm. Toss the sprouts into the salad right when they come out of the oven for a different take on this salad.
