Are you feeling a little full and bloated from all that Thanksgiving food? I know I am! This Asian Brussels Sprout Salad with Grilled Salmon is a quick and healthy light meal to start your week out on the right foot. Perfect for lunch or dinner!
Usually I make this type of salad with cabbage since it’s really like a slaw salad but heck, aren’t brussels sprouts like little cabbages anyways? I usually roast my brussels sprouts but this time I wanted to try a raw version to see how I liked it. You know what? I loved it!
I suppose you could make a dressing from scratch for this salad, but I LOVE Newman’s Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger dressing and it was perfect on this. Why make things complicated when it can be so easy? Then just shred the sprouts (some stores have bags of shredded brussels sprouts), slice some green onions, a little red bell pepper for color, toss in some chopped peanuts, top with a piece of grilled salmon and your good to go.
A quick and healthy lunch or dinner you’ll feel good about eating doesn’t have to take time when you’re making this Asian Brussels Sprout Salad with Grilled Salmon!
