That shaved brussel sprout salad looks fabulous! Definitely going to try it.
Actually, in our house we consider bacon a vegetable, but my husband's relatives not so much.
Starting my monday morning with a laugh....thanks Drbabs
ditto.
you left out my favorite! The m.wells brussells sprouts salad. which is what i'm making for thanksgiving (minus the ham and cheese for those in our family who pretend to keep kosher).

I love that one too!!
That is my favorite as well and it will also be gracing our Thanksgiving table this year. I, however, will not be holding on the ham and cheese, as in our household. proscuitto (along with bacon) is somehow overlooked as a non-kosher pork product. ;-)
