Shredded Brussels Sprout and Pomegranate Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
Shredded Brussels Sprout and Pomegranate Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing combines sweet pomegranate seeds, crunchy pecans, creamy avocado, and tangy goat cheese - you'll be eating this salad all winter long!
Brussels sprouts: yay or nay? I'm a brussels sprout enthusiast and truly believe that if you don't like brussels sprouts you just haven't had them prepared the right way. Side note: I have loved brussels sprouts since I was just a wee one, and my grandparents thought it was so oddly funny that they would give me a package of frozen brussels sprouts for my birthday every year. I was a strange child, to say the least.
Needless to say, brussels sprouts are one of my favorite fall/winter veggies, and while I'm not above heating up a package of frozen brussels sprouts, lathering them up in butter and salt, and going to town, my typical go-to brussels sprout recipe is my Sriracha and Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts. That recipe is sweet and spicy heaven, if I do say.
Shredded Brussels Sprout and Pomegranate Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
This salad, on the other hand, highlights raw brussels sprouts. And after bathing in a finger lickin' honey mustard dressing, tones down the crunchiness of the sprouts. Combined with the sweet pomegranate seeds, crunchy pecans, creamy avocado, and tangy goat cheese, it's a simple fact that I'll be eating this salad all winter long.
One of my favorite parts of this salad is how festive it is. Now I don't want to go around speaking of the "C" word quite yet. But with the pomegranate seeds and brussels sprouts, it just screams the holidays, yes? I was even thinking to wait and post this recipe in December. But I love it so much I just couldn't keep it from you.
So what am I waiting for?! Let's get to it!
