Brussels sprouts make for my favorite Thanksgiving side dish.

This year we’ve got this maple brussles sprouts salad that we’re featuring for our Thanksgiving dishes (there will be more coming!).

What we love about about this dish is the combination of sweet and savory that this recipe combines. It’s also got added protein due to the additional nuts we added into the recipe.

Brussels sprouts are also even better for you than you might think:

• fiber (good for digestion)
• isothiocyanate (antioxidants!)
• vitamin C (immune system, collagen in your skin)
• folate (brain health)
• they promote phase 1 liver detox enzyme production

… and they’re super tasty!

Enjoy this recipe!
