THE YUMMIEST SALAD EVER!



Yes, you did read the title right! How many of you would have read a post about Brussel Sprout Slaw? Well, you will be glad you did.

 It is really a wonderfully yummy salad!

 Even if you are not a brussel sprout fan, give this a try... it is scrumptious...




My sister made this for us recently... she is an AMAZING cook... we all but licked our plates!

This is not rocket science, so don't be thrown off by the lack of exact measurements.  It will all work out just fine!


LISA'S BRUSSEL SPROUT SLAW

1 or 2 boxes fresh brussel sprouts
lemon dressing, follows
1/2 cup shredded Manchego cheese
toasted macadamia nuts


Cut the bottom off of each brussel sprout. Peel off outside leaves.
 Slice in thin slices...









 and then chop in thin ribbons.

 Put the brussel sprouts and cheese in a salad bowl. Toss.






Make lemon vinaigrette:
Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2-4 TBS fresh squeezed lemon, 1/4 tsp grainy mustard and 1/2 tsp salt in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously. 

Pour over shredded brussel sprouts.











Plate and top with toasted macadamia nuts.









EASY-PEASY, YUMMY GOOD!

    Looks so GOOD! By a "box" of sprouts do you mean frozen or fresh?

    Yvonne, upon your endorsement and enthusiasm I made this for my husband, sister and me. It was amazing and we all three LOVED it! My sister took home some extras and the recipe to share with her friends. Thank you for sharing!!

    Yvonne, I have bee making this once or twice a week for about a year now. I take it to gatherings so I know that there will be something healthy and fresh for all to eat. If I am in a big hurry, I have substituted a bag of cole slaw instead of the brussel sprouts and it is equally delicious! Thanks for all you do for so many of us. I get excited when I see a new post from Stone Gable!
