Brussels Sprouts and Orzo Slaw Recipe

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.
