Recipe Notes

I have loved brussels sprouts for years. I was one of those kids who actually liked them and have cooked them all sorts of ways through the years. It was about 10 years ago that a friend of mine served me shredded brussels sprouts. They are great steamed, but this fresh salad is a bit like a tender, sweet cole slaw.

"We kids feared many things in those days - werewolves, dentists, North Koreans, Sunday School - but they all paled in comparison with Brussels sprouts."
