Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad
Getting tired of the same old same old with your brussels sprouts? I know I get in the funk of always cooking them the same way. Bacon, blue cheese, a little red wine vinegar. Don’t get me wrong, they are great that way. Just sometimes you need to mix things up a bit. So, if you are looking for a fast easy and don’t forget fantastic salad. Here it is. Raw shredded brussels sprouts combined with nuts, cheese, dijon mustard and olive oil creates one awesome salad. Best part is, this actually holds up quite well in the fridge over night, not that I see you having any left overs, its that good.
* Note: Adjust vinegar to your taste. You can use all of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
