About

We're living in the middle of a Brussels sprout renaissance! A new species of Brussels sprouts completely transformed the vegetable from bitter to beautiful; it's certainly worth celebrating with Brussels Sprout Salad! The refreshing sprouts are sliced thin to maximize their leafy goodness and crunch, emphasized by the succulent crispiness of bacon bits and chopped almonds. A zesty, citrus-infused dressing makes the most of the fresh garden flavors, and parmesan cheese... well parmesan cheese just brings the party! Brussels Sprout Salad will make you wonder why anyone would reject these incredible vegetables!
