Move over cabbage, Brussels make this slaw even better!:) This salad is a fall flavorist to bring in the seasonal flavours with an extra crunch and earthy bite thanks to the Brussels. The addition of the dried cranberries lends a sweet yet tart bite that really balances out the flavours. And in my opinion, this is a salad that tastes even better the next day- oh yes please and thank you to left overs!
If you have a mandolin- its a great tool to help achieve the brussels are thinly sliced, if not, a sharp chef knife or the blade on a food processor will give the same result.
Enjoy!
