Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad With Greek Flavors

5 from 1 vote

I love everything in the cruciferous cabbage family, but I think I love Brussel sprouts most, especially when paired with pomegranate and nuts. This Greek recipe bursts with flavor and is the perfect Mediterranean Diet addition to festive and everyday tables. I love this on Thanksgiving, but I enjoy it all winter long, too. Make sure to use great extra virgin Greek olive oil for the best results! You can find the currants, sea salt, olive oil and pistachios needed for this recipe here.
