B.S. Salad

I don’t have a fancy name for this salad!  In the winter, I like to use the smaller Brussels Sprouts (B.S.) and onion from my garden on my salads.  It’s not total B.S. because I really do use them.  I know the trend is to cook them, but I like them raw too!  Here is my favorite combo for the B.S. Salad:

  • Baby leaf or spring lettuce
  • Brussels Sprouts (of course!)
  • Zucchini
  • Onion
  • Tomato

As for dressing, I typically use a little ranch or blue cheese dressing.  I keep saying that I am going to start making my own salad dressing but I haven’t started yet!  There is always hope that I will change my ways.

Now I don’t like big chunks of anything on my B.S. salad.  This way I get to taste several ingredients in each bite!  If you have a favorite salad combo for Brussels sprouts, email me at sandyatcrazyforgardening@gmail.com.
