Warm Berry Nutty Brussels Sprout Salad
It seems like every year I make a resolution to eat a healthier, more balanced diet, but somehow by February, I’m back to the quick and easy meals in exchange for the things I know I should be eating.
I feel like salads would be a good way to eat healthier, but sometimes it’s hard to get excited about a salad. They don’t sound very filling or fulfilling.
Also, on cold, winter days, I want something warm and comforting. Not a crisp, cool salad.
Not to mention that in winter, the produce section is a little lacking.
This salad takes away all of my excuses. It’s warm, it’s in season, and totally fulfilling. Brussels sprouts have 3g of protein per serving and 3.3g of dietary fiber. Add in the protein and fiber from the Berry Nutty bars and I promise, you won’t feel hungry after you finish this up.

This sounds tasty! Welcome to the “From the USANA Test Kitchen” realm, Sarah!
there are so many people that do not like brussel sprouts, yet they are so
healthy. what a super great way to serve them. I am quite sure that even
finicky teens will like them.
Thank you for this post!
The sweetness from the maple syrup and the Berry Nutty bars definitely helps picky eaters get behind eating brussels sprouts too! I’m glad you liked the recipe!
