Friday Salad
But the bed of greens is actually comprised of shredded Brussels sprouts!
After dinner last night, I placed the leftover steamed Brussels sprouts in the food processor and pulsed them a couple of times to make Brussels sprouts shreds to use as a base for my lunchtime salad.
I like the steamed Brussels sprouts much better this way!
Trout Topped Salad
This lunch reminded me of the roasted Brussels sprouts salad I had back in November, though I actually liked this one more. I think that the raspberry-glazed trout and shredded mozzarella cheese I included in the salad added a lot of flavor. I also threw some Craisins in there as well for a little extra sweetness!
I was still a bit hungry after lunch and stumbled upon some cheese danishes in the breakroom. I am a sucker for cheese danishes and nabbed one to enjoy back at my desk.
I fear that the little danish triggered a monster in me because now I want more sweets! At least I will be celebrating my friend Kaitlyn’s birthday tonight and birthdays always include somethin’ sweet.

I had brussels sprouts with lunch today too. I don’t know why they get such a bad rep, they’re an awesome veggie!
I love brussels sprouts! I totally want to try shredding them in a food processor! I bet they would taste amazing. All I need is the food processor. 🙂 One day!
Have fun tonight! 🙂
the recipes page looks great!! i love all the photos!! and SHREDDED sprouts is GENIUS!! i;m definitely doing that.. esp since i have a GIANT TUB of them in the fridge!
LOVE the look of your new recipe page!! It’s great! 😀
And sprouts are SO yummy! What a great idea…I must try that!!
Sorry folks but brussel sprouts is the only veggie I’m not a fan of. You’re so brave! 🙂
Love the addition of craisins in salads- so yummy! 🙂
Can’t wait to check out the new recipes page- going now!
recipe page looks fab!
Love the idea of a brussels sprouts base for a salad, can’t wait to try it!
Love this idea for salads! I never would have thought of that! I’m going to go check out the recipes page now! 🙂
Love the new recipe page! Totally know what u mean on one bite of dessert leading to a sugar craving, I had a sliver of a donut in the office kitchen this morning & it’s led to serious hunkering for anything sugary all morning.
Oops meant hankering, kinda like the word hunkering though, maybe I’ll use that to describe when I’m craving some boyfriend time lol
I had Brussels sprouts in my salad today too! Not the shredded kind, but that’s a really good idea. I’ve been eating them like crazy lately – probably to make up for all the years of my childhood that my Brussels sprout-hating parents didn’t serve them to me! Have a great afternoon Julie! 🙂
Shredded brussel sprout base ie GENIUS!!!! I love love love this idea!!!!
Hi, this is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!! I am so using this! I am obsessed with bsprouts. I plan meals around them. Meaning i start with the sprouts and figure out what to have as a “side dish”….

Great use of Brussels sprouts! I may have to try this trick in the near future!!
I love adding craisins in salad! It tastes especially good with Feta Cheese too…
I love craisins in salad too! And I wish I had nabbed that chocolate….I love chocolate on Fridays 🙂
I love the new recipes page! I’m going to spend more time browsing it when I get the chance.
I’m not a big fan of Brussels sprouts but your post of salad yesterday inspired my salad today 🙂 Love the new recipes page.
I have been meaning to do this brussel sprout salad idea for a long time. I have two bags of bsprouts waiting to go. I wonder if roasting them then shredding them would work?
yes, it definitely does!
I love brussels and that looks amazing. Wow.
The recipe page looks great!
I love adding Craisins to my salads…especially with a little feta!
thank you! it made me very hungry as i revamped it!
That’s such a neat way to use brussels sprouts!!!!
That salad looks great!
MMM brussel sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables EVER! love them roasted and a little on the *charred* side (yes, i know i am weird…)
congrats to the winner and to you…for updating your pages. A thankless, long, time consuming thing…updating our blog pages, isn’t it! But i can assure you we all appreciate your hard work 🙂
Brussel sprout are yummy and all but I’ve given up on eating them…they don’t like me if you know what I mean=/
Your gazillion hours were worth it….the recipe page looke great! We are actually having your salmon with raspberry glaze tonight!
oooh i hope you like it! our apartment still smells like fish!
I really like using Brussels sprouts this way. Trader Joe’s sells a great packaged salad that uses sprouts like this – they add in some dried cranberries, bacon and grated/fresh parmesan cheese. It’s really good!
The recipe page looks nice!! And congrats to Karen 🙂
Using brussels sprouts as the base for a salad is a great idea!!! I bet that was a great salad 😀
After you wrote about the shredded Brussels sprout salad in November, I actually tried it and agree that it is tasty!
I totally dig the new recipe page too, it looks awesome!
My entire life I thought I hated brussel sprouts (I guess because as a kid all my friends would say ewww when they were mentioned). I tried them a few months back and REALLY enjoyed them. They are actually yummy! I will be using your shredding trick soon. Thanks!
Here in Texas I have been snowed in for 4 LONG days!! Thought about you today though, I broke open a jar of PB and ate about half of it in PB fingers!!?? So bad, but so good!! Back on track tomorrow!!
I love how the brussel sprouts are shredded! That is SO cool! 🙂 Thanks for hosting that giveaway. It was SO fun much. 🙂
Yum…Thanks for the recipe page and the new fashion page. I have to say that I love your brown boots!
Ah i thought that was going to be my name since I said the same thing…Bummer! Ha.. Just checked out the fashion page. Love it 🙂
I’ve been really wanting to try brussel sprouts raw and shaved in a salad like the one you had before. but why mess with a good thing? cooked brussels are a good thing
HI!
I just started reading your blog & I’m addicted. This recipe looks amazing, and your wedding looked beautiful! I’m also a novice blogger myself, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend!
Mmmm i’ll have to give the ol’ brussel sprouts a try this way.
I love brussel sprouts, what a great salad idea!
