Brussel Sprout Salad With Honey Citrus Vinaigrette
Everyone thinks Brussel sprouts belong on the Thanksgiving table, so why not surprise them with this Brussel sprout salad? It's so easy to prepare, and so delicious to eat. Do you know what's often missing from the Thanksgiving table? Acid! You need some acidic items on the table to cut through all that butter, cream, and richness. This salad has wonderful pops of flavor: juicy pom arils which make the salad so beautiful, golden raisins for a bit of sweet chew, pine nuts for that creamy crunch, crispy apple, and of course a bit of salty cheddar cheese. While you're at Trader Joe's picking up the best item they carry - these shredded Brussel sprouts - stop in the cheese aisle and pick up a brick of their Unexpected Cheddar. Best. Cheese. Ever! Oh and did I mention the Honey Citrus Vinaigrette? Fresh orange and lemon juice combine with honey and dijon mustard to make the perfect dressing for this fresh and delicious salad.

Soak the red onion in a little water ,vinegar ,salt and sugar for 10 mins .Squeeze out the
onions and freeze for 3o mins .Top the salad before serving. Better flavor.
My husband has a horrible aversion to brussel sprouts, especially would hate the smell of them roasting. I think I may try this with cabbage for a fancy Cole slaw.
