How many of you enjoy eating your Brussels Sprouts? I do! I’m particularly fond a Brussels Sprouts that have been steamed (super soft) and then smothered in a creamy cheese & butter sauce.
Everyone will eat their Brussels sprouts in this fresh dish! Thinly slicing or shaving them adds great texture to the salad and using a food processor to slice them will make preparing this salad quick and easy. The recipe is courtesy of Pasta Fits and will make approximately 4 servings.

We usually have brussel sprouts steamed. I dont think I have ever had them in the raw form. I bet they would be good though. This salad looks nice and light and something different. I might try it when brussel sprouts go on sale.
Interesting ingredients in this dish. I like brussel sprouts baked in the oven.
I am a big fan of Brussel Sprouts and prepare them roasted or steamed. This recipe looks delicious with them sliced thin in a salad. Dressing looks good too.
I have a nephew who is the only kid I know who loves Brussels Sprouts, lol. This might get him to eat slaw.
This sounds and looks like a refreshing salad. I can imagine this light cole slaw/salad at a picnic on the beach or even at a bridal shower. When I read the recipe I actually thought how delicious this would be with a couple of pieces of crisp bacon tossed in.
