Chef's Note

This salad can easily be cut in half if you're serving a small group of people. Letting the salad sit under refrigeration for longer allows the dressing to soften the Brussels sprouts, but leaving it too long will make the salad soggy.
Did you know that just 1/2 cup of Brussels sprouts provides over 50% of your daily needs for vitamin C?! Layer that with all the other nutrient-dense plants in this recipe and you have yourself one hearty, healthy, tasty dish!
