Brussels Sprout Salad with Pomegranate

February 19, 2013

You say the word Brussels Sprouts and you will get my attention, Scott’s and Tanner and Clifford’s too. We have 2 veggie loving dogs and Clifford might run a marathon for a Brussels Sprout. He likes them raw and you give him one of those and he just goes to town. I am 100% aware we have weird dogs!

 

We had this salad as part of Valentines dinner and for lunches on Friday. Shredded Brussels sprouts, a bit of parmesean cheese, pomegranate and pepitas for a bit of crunch. Add in a homemade dressing and you have one healthy, antioxidant packed meal.

 

It doesn’t hurt that is so pretty too! The Oxo handheld slicer can in pretty darn handy for this.

Just pinned this! Looks SOOO good! I love sprouts! My family hates when I cook them because they say it stinks up the house but I don’t care :)
Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE that slicer, and have been making a similar salad with it. This looks wonderful, and I love the addition of crunch in it. The 2# bags of sprouts from CostCo and fabulous, and I’m the primary consumer of them in this house. Totally fine with that.

It really is a great slicer, comes in handy and doesn’t take up too much space.

I LOVE shredded brussels sprouts . . . but to be honest, I love all things brussels sprouts these days. I can’t believe there was a time when I wouldn’t eat them! What was I thinking?!?
