After the delicious roasted Brussels of Christmas Day I’m always happy to have a few raw sprouts left so I can make this amazing salad. The key to this dish is slicing the Brussels into thin slices. The fine strips of sprout soak up the delicious dressing but keep their crunchy texture. I serve this salad with roasted chicken thighs but my favourite is paired with smoked salmon.
Salmon has omega-3 fatty acids which are good for your heart and brain health. It also has selenium which is good for protecting good mental health.
