My recipe is based on a Broccoli Salad recipe that my friend Louise gave me. Chances are, you've probably had that Broccoli Salad at a summer barbecue. I decided to tweak it a bit, and make it Fall-appropriate. It'd be nice next to some Thanksgiving roast turkey. Or even the next day, on a turkey sandwich. The dressing is so good, you'll want to eat it by the spoonful. Careful there. I like my salads lightly dressed, so if you think yours is a bit on the dry side, just double the recipe for the dressing.

Would like to try this tomorrow night. I love sauteing (sp?) brussels sprouts with bacon. Should I warm the brussels sprouts up first before dressing?

Hi, Tbird! I leave the Brussels sprouts raw. I love the crunch! But the dressed sprouts do get softer the longer you let it sit. Let me know if you try it!

This is DELICIOUS. So tangy. I only used half the amount of brussels sprouts - maybe I just like a salad heavy on the "extras" :)

mrslarkin added about 1 year ago

That's so great to hear!! Nothing wrong with extras - especially if it involves bacon!!

Looking forward to trying this.

Thanks! I hope you like it Rhonda! You can also substitute 1/4 cup maple syrup for the sugar, which gives it an extra Autumn-y taste.

This is a terrific fall reinterpretation. I think I'll like it better than the broccoli version - the sprouts will add that little certain something. Great one!

thank you CM. Try it with maple syrup too, as I mentioned above to Rhonda.
