Secret Recipe Club Maple Apple Brussels Sprout Salad

If you would have asked me 20 years ago if I thought I would every voluntarily made brussels sprouts, I would have laughed. I ate a lot of vegetables but those little green cabbage looking things were not on my list. They were most definitely on the I will not eat that and would rather spend all night at the table with cold food…

I am no longer that girl who grows running from them, in fact, I kind of love them. Scott loves them and Clifford will do crazy tricks if you give him a whole sprout. Strange how your taste buds change isn’t it. This may be favorite Secret Recipe Club pick to date. And that is saying a lot. Vegan friendly, a pretty quick weeknight dinner and an excuse to break out my mandolin. Ahhh the joys of playing in the kitchen.

This month’s delicious recipe was courtesy of Evelyne, a blogger in Canada who has some seriously good taste. Hello flavors from around the world. Loved looking though all her recipes. But when I came across Maple Apple Brussels Sprout Salad I was sold.
