My wife just found this recipe while poking around the site and brought it to my attention.....can't believe I didn't see it before. This looks so light and vibrant, I think I'll cook it for a dinner party we have planned for next weekend with a nice leg of lamb. Thanks!

Oh man, brussel sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables and I love the look of this chopped salad. Cannot wait to try a version for this for an upcoming event I am hosting. I'll let you know how the sodium free version works out!
