Notes
- Brussels sprouts: You can save on prep time and pick up a 12 oz. bag of shredded Brussels sprouts from the store. That way you don’t have to worry about shredding the Brussels sprouts.
- Substitutions: You can make a variety of substitutions. See the post for a complete list.
- Leftovers: This salad is best served immediately or within an hour or so of prep time. It tends to get a little soft/soggy the longer it sits.
