I actually came up with this recipe while preparing another recipe I submitted 'Tangy Brussels Sprout Chips.' While sampling the raw sprout leaves that had been tossed in oil and lemon juice, I thought "These would be amazing uncooked, tossed with fruit & nuts! Thus, Fresh & Fruity Brussels Sprout Salad was born! —Loves Food Loves to Eat

Thanks so much for posting this with Amanda's salad today. I love apples and pecans together--I bet this is wonderful. I'm saving the recipe to make soon.
