Shredded Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad
Brussels Sprouts and Kale are hardy vegetables when it comes to surviving the winter growing season. We love to use them in salads during cooler months because they are delicious and nutritious – and in season! This winter salad is perfect if you’re looking for a quick and easy veggie dish to accompany dinner.
