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

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

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.

Instead of lemon vinaigrette I made a maple balsamic vinaigrette. Also added some shredded chicken to make it a meal. I make this regularly it’s so yummy!
