I like roasted Brussels sprouts a lot, but this is a great alternative way to prepare them.
Brussels Sprouts Salad with Dried Cranberries and Hazelnuts
We find this a great alternative to roasted Brussels sprouts. The thinly sliced Brussels sprouts wilt slightly while melding with the lemon dressing, and hazelnuts maintain their crunch. I have also used almonds if I’m serving right away but the hazelnuts hold up better if you’re serving later. I use a mandolin to slice the sprouts. Or, I buy the Brussels sprouts already sliced.
Ingredients
