Way to much salt in this. Would dramatically reduce salt content next time

This recipe makes A LOT of salad so if you only intend it to be a side or you aren’t feeding the 5000, halve the recipe. But delicious and a great way to get people who hate Brussels sprouts to love them.

Replace Brussels sprout with 1 whole lettuce!

For less calories try using Greek yogurt in the dressing instead of olive oil. It tastes great!
