Behold… my latest and greatest big giant salad concoction… a Brussels Sprouts Salad with Persimmons!
Truly one of my favorite winter salads to date! This quick and easy salad is loaded with shaved Brussels Sprouts (yes you can eat them raw!) plenty of pomegranate seeds, sweet candied walnuts, persimmons and honey crisp apples, creamy avocado, feta and a very very easy dressing. I made this for Friendsgiving about a month ago and it was oddly one of the first things to go! Everyone loves the combo of honey crisp apples and persimmons plus the feta! It’s pretty damn near perfect and would go great alongside any type of roast chicken, turkey, steak, pork… you get the idea!

Yum! Always looking for new ways to use brussel sprouts!!
could you use mixed greens instead of Brussel sprouts?
I am making this salad tomorrow AM for a Gal pal holiday lunch. I tried 3 different chains in Indy—no luck finding persimmons. I bought a pineapple, not sure what to do—but giving this a try. It looks yummy!
just use apples!
