Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad

PREP NOTES

This Brussel sprout salad is seriously addictive! Sweet, crunchy, and a bit nutty, the texture and flavor combination is perfect for any time of the year. Brussel sprouts are full of fiber that helps feed the good bacteria in your gut. Lightly cooking them in this recipe allows for easier digestion, ensuring your body is able to absorb all the vitamins and nutrients this dish has to offer!

For the dressing:
