Brussel Sprouts Salad

 
Rarely do I blog about side dishes but this was just too good not to! I ordered a Brussels sprouts salad at the Hamilton a few weeks ago and have been wanting to recreate it ever since!
 
 
I picked up shaved Brussels sprouts at Trader Joe's to make it easier to come together and combined them with some shredded cheese and sunflower seeds. For the dressing I just mixed together fresh lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt and it was such a great flavor combination.

The sprouts also hold up really well already dressed so it can easily be made in advance. I'm thinking of using this for a different type of lunch time salad, mixed with some protein/healthy fat such as avocado, tuna or hard boiled eggs!

  1. Hi Kait. This is the first time I've seen your blog and I love that you posted this because I've been loving brussel sprouts in salads lately as well. What a fun addition!

    Costco has an awesome mix with kale, brussels, broccoli, and other superfoods, along with a mix of dried cranberries and dried pumpkin seeds. Oh so good, and oh so healthy.

    I look forward to your other posts. If you would like to check out my blog, I'm at www.realfoodfitness/blog. ( : Jessica
