    Recipe Notes

    I think the longer this salad sits, the better it gets. It should last 3-5 days in the fridge.

    1. Mmmmmm...I LOVE brussel sprouts! I could eat them every day! In fact I was eating a quick sautéed brussel sprout lunch when I read this recipe! Since I had the food processor out to do the sautée I finished shredding the bag of brussel sprouts and made the salad in your recipe. It is in the fridge now waiting to be taken to work for lunch tomorrow. The dressing tastes wonderfully lemony! Thanks for another winning recipe Melissa!
        1. If one doesn't have arrowroot powder, could flour or cornstarch be substituted? (Yes, I know my cornstarch is full of GMOs. Baby steps...) Thank you.
    2. As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I have everything but the red onion. So I will just try with a little yellow. Can't wait.
    3. Okay...I really dislike Brussels sprouts, but recently have enjoyed them roasted...but this recipe was delicious and lemony! I never thought I would like them raw!
    4. I have tried a few Brussels sprouts salad recipe, trying to recreate one I always get at my fave local restaurant. The dressing has always been off, but yours has finally worked perfectly! The addition of maple syrup and the onion powder was just the trick to make it delicious. I added a chopped hard boiled egg and a few Parmesan shavings. It made for a great lunch entree, which I will make again! Thank you for this great recipe.
    5. I'm so glad I found this recipe! Thank you! Last weekend, we were at an exhibit at the National Geographic Museum in DC & Whole Foods was serving a similar recipe in conjunction with healthy eating. When I did a search to find it to make it at home, I couldn't, but, alas, I found yours :) I toasted the almonds, which weren't a part of the WF recipe. And, I added craisins, which were an integral part of the WF recipe. Thank you! Delicious!!
    6. This sounds lovely! I have some brussel sprouts in my fridge, and I've been mulling over what to do with them. This sounds perfect!
    7. This was my first time making a raw Brussels Sprout recipe; usually I roast or otherwise cook them. I'm glad I tried it; this is good. It is VERY LEMONY! I love lemon, so it was delicious for me; but it was too much for my husband. I almost left out the slivered almonds, and I'm glad I didn't. I do think this salad needs that bit of fat to be a counterpoint to the lemon. I'm going with walnuts next time; I think that will be good too. Also I was inspired by a previous comment and added raisins to the leftovers the second day. YUM!
      1. I LOVE lemon, like crazy love lol! I am glad you were able to tweak it to make it not so lemony for your taste. Adding raisins or cranberries is a great way to balance out the tartness of the lemon. :)
