One of my favorite restaurants here in Fort Worth, Texas serves a brussels sprout salad that is to die for. Naturally, I had to do my best to recreate it and to be honest, this at home version more than rivals the real thing.
It’s the perfect salad for meal prep because the brussels sprouts are hardy and won’t get soggy with dressing. It also makes a great meal to drop off for new moms or friends going through a hard time.
