A delicious Healthy Brussels Sprouts Salad - with almond slices, crisp tart apple and sweet cranberries. Perfect on its own as a meal or as a side dish for your main.
To all the brussels sprout haters out there, this may well be the recipe to convert you into loving that green little round vegetable.
For most of us, the only way we were ever served brussels sprouts as a kid, were so over boiled, that then were more brown than green and were so bitter, it's hardly a surprise that many of us ended up hating them.
Well not anymore. I absolutely love Brussels Sprouts now - raw in salad, roasted, or shredded and sauteed they are absolutely delicious.
So when I grabbed a bag of brussels sprouts this week I just knew I wanted to make a yummy mixed salad.
Raiding my pantry and fridge for what other ingredients I could throw in, I grabbed a fresh crisp apple, some almond slices, dried cranberries and red onion and then all that was left to make was some dressing.
I just love poppy seed dressing and my version that I use in this delicious Chicken Strawberry Avocado Salad is a regular one that I make and is just perfect for this Brussel Sprouts Salad with with Almonds, Apple and Cranberries.

First time making this and it was lovely. OH looked at me like I’d lost my mind when I served it up but agreed it was very tasty and he’d eat it again.
Great for Christmas when we all have too many Brussel sprouts!
