Salads are a staple in my diet and one of my favorite new recipes to create! This Brussels sprout salad has craveable ingredients like freshly chopped sprouts, salty parmesan cheese, juicy pomegranates, and a tangy mustard dressing that leaves your diners wanting more. YUM! Crisp vegetables like Brussels sprouts tend to hold up well as a make-ahead fully dressed salad, making this a perfect hostess gift for dinner parties. Prep all the ingredients in advance, make the dressing a day or two before, then toss for a quick assembly when you are ready to serve and deliver. I like to top my Brussels sprout salad with seared halloumi cheese or proteins like sliced chicken or cubed salmon to complete the meal. This is the kind of food I want to eat for the healthy lifestyle I crave!
