Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette



Fresh and crunchy with just the right combination of sweet and tart, salty and citrus...

Sometimes it is hard to describe a delicious salad and this one is no exception. But I know you'll enjoy the flavor every time you try it!

For this Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette, the sprouts are washed and trimmed before shredding in the food processor. You'll want to capture any leaves that separate from the sprouts when they are trimmed and add them back to the salad.

The Citrus Vinaigrette has a combination of two citrus fruits, orange and lemon, which act to bring all the flavors of this sensational salad together. I do think this salad dressing would be fabulous on many other salads. I'll be making it again real soon and let you know! And, if you find another use for the dressing, please share.

Any leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a day. Any extra dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
