Brussels sprouts are awesome roasted, pan fried and yes, even raw. Their leaves soak up dressing like little sponges of yum and trust me, a couple sprouts go a long way.
Brussels sprouts are filling yall! I think they might expand rice-style in the tum. I am not an expert in their expansion but that feels accurate. Don’t quote me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can use any of your favorite vinegar-based dressings with this combo, but I loved how the Dijon really brightened the salad up while still keeping things creamy. If you can’t find pomegranate seeds right away, look by the pre-cut fruit or… dare I say it… just ask. I swear grocers are sometimes just messing with us.
