Brussels Sprout Salad

Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables! You can make so many delicious recipes with them! This particular recipe is always a crowd favorite as a healthy appetizer or healthy side. This Brussels Sprout Salad is super easy to make and required very minimal cooking! In fact, the only time I need the stove is to boil the water used to blanch the Brussels Sprouts.
