NUTTY WARM BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD



Nutty Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad image

Originally from Cooking Light but tweaked to our preferences. Have also sprinkled on some recipe#463068 instead of the nuts. Haven't done this yet but think you could make the gratin ahead and the brussels sprouts and keep two aspects separate, then reheat the sprouts in microwave and assemble-just don't put the gratin in until serving or it will turn into mush.
