Another Amazing Magnolia Table recipe, we are absolutely in love with!

Shredded Brussels Sprouts, fresh blueberries, toasted almost and poppy seeds are an unexpectedly delicious combination that's also super healthy.  The sweetness of the berries and vinaigrette airs perfectly with the earthy, crunchy leaves and almonds.  

I prepped this salad the 2 days before.  I keep the vinaigrette made but in a separate bowl, so everything doesn't get soggy.  But if you can pre-chop the sprouts, and mix together with the blueberries and toasted almonds for quick assembly day of.

Ingredients:

2 cups Brussel Sprouts, shredded

2 cups Blueberries

1 cup Sliced Almonds, toasted

Vinaigrette:

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 cup Rice Vinegar

2 teaspoons Honey

1 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds

Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Use a sharp knife to shred the sprouts crosswise, stoping about 1/2 inch from base (discard the base/stems).
2. Transfer the sprouts to a large bowl.   Add Blueberries and Almonds and toss to combine.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Olive Oil, Rice Vinegar, Honey, Poppy Seeds, Salt & Pepper.  Pour over the Salad and toss well to coat.
