Brussels Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Dates

This Brussels Sprouts Salad with Almonds and Dates may be my most favorite salad ever.  I know I said that about my quinoa salad with avocado and tomatoes, but this is just as good!  You all know I love Brussels sprouts recipes.  Especially my maple glazed Brussels sprouts.   You have got to try this one!

I love the flavors in this.  The dates help balance out the acidity of the dressing.  This salad is very easy to prepare and should last several days.  However, I would only add the avocado right before you are going to eat it.  Otherwise, it will get too mushy and brown.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
