Brussels Sprout Slaw

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

"My sister called me after a dinner party where she had an awesome Brussels sprouts salad. When we were together for the holidays, we whipped up this recipe for the family to try! Though it's holiday-inspired with the pop of color of pomegranate arils, it's perfect year-round!" - Wendy Cannon, cooking instructor at the Dr. Yum Project Kitchen
