You all know that I love my brussels sprouts!
I typically enjoy my brussels sprouts roasted and crispy.
However, I also love them shredded in salads. There is just something about shaved brussels that elevate a salad. The crunch and flavor are great additions to any bowl.
This salad recipe is no different. The best part about this salad is that it compliments any menu, making it great for pitch-ins.

This salad is the definition of a crowd pleaser, perfect for gatherings! It has it all.. vegetables, fruit, healthy fats, and flavor. Unlike leafy greens, brussels sprouts last longer when combined with salad dressing, making this perfect for meal prep.

- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions

Notes
This salad can be tossed ahead of time for parties, the brussels sprouts actually soften up some while sitting in the dressing. If making ahead of time, I recommend omitting walnuts and parmesan until just before serving.
A refreshing take on one of America's favorite appetizers. The honey lime marinate creates an incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken wing.
