Brussels Sprout Salad
Ingredients:
chopped Brussels Sprouts
chopped celery
chopped Bell Peppers (orange and green)
chopped Granny Smith Apple
Cooked Brussels Sprout and Carrots
To make this, I sautéed chopped Bell Pepper, Celery and Onion in about a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Then, I added the chopped Brussels Sprouts and carrots to the saucepan. I added in about a half cup of water, seasoned it to taste, and allowed it to cook for about 25 minutes on medium heat with the lid on.
I steamed some rice to serve with the vegetables.
When I bought the Brussels Sprouts, I really didn't know what to expect as far as preparing them. In the past, I had only eaten a few at a restaurant. I have decided to gradually add in different ( the ones that I would not normally buy ) fruit and vegetables to my diet. After cooking them, I decided that I like them much better in a salad! Maybe, I should try cooking them a different way. Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteThis looks great, I've already pinned it! I haven't done much with sprouts other than roast them cuz hubby wasn't a fan...this is encouraging me to try again!
Bekah, if you decide to cook them, please post the results on your blog. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
DeleteHey Trinity! I'm not a big fan of brussel sprouts at all. But cutting them up and sauteing them like you did, doesn't sound bad at all! Lol! Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be an acquired taste, Michell. However, they are very nutritious. Thanks, and you have a good one, too!
DeleteI have never had Brussels Sprouts. I must give it a try. This salad looks colourful and is definitely good for one's health. Have a great week victory!
ReplyDeleteYes, Judy. the salad is filled with nutrients. Give the Brussels Sprouts a try, and post your results. You have a great week, also!
DeleteThis looks good. I've never thought to cook Brussels Sprouts with carrots. I'll have to try that next time I have Brussels Sprouts. As for the salad it looks good, I'm just wondering how Brussels Sprouts taste raw? I'm guessing they taste like cabbage/cole slaw. Anyway, something, I'll definitely try in the future. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Evelyn, I actually enjoyed them much better - raw and in the salad. They do taste like cabbage/coleslaw. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI can't help, I needed this. I want to try more with Brussel sprouts. I'm thinking about adding a meatless day to my planner when I get this cooking routine going.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of adding a meatless day to your planner sounds like a great idea! If you decide to do it, please share your thoughts about meatless meals.
DeleteI love your vegetarian recipes. Brussel sprouts are so delicious and they are so good in salads. I did something similar a couple of months ago, but this looks pretty tasty. Another must try recipe from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, LV! I saw your Brussels sprouts post. It gave me the idea to be creative with my Brussels Sprouts. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis looks amazing! Gotta try! Bless you, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley! Have a great rest of the week.
DeleteHi Trinity. Good to see you at Let's Get Real again this week. You are always teaching me something new. I just found out that my husband's favorite vegetable is brussel sprouts. Are you kidding me? I've been married to him for 8 years and I had no idea. I've never made them for him. I'm going to try both of these recipes and show him so love that is long overdue.
ReplyDeleteAfter trying both of these recipes several times, I have concluded that I prefer them in a salad. Hope you try them both and like them!
