Brussels Sprouts Salad #SurpriseRecipeSwap

secret recipe swap

Brussels Sprouts salad

Welcome to June’s Surprise Recipe Swap Reveal!

Each month our host, Jutta from http://www.hungrylittlrgirl.com assigns us a blog partner. Our job is to search through their wonderful collection of recipes and pick just one to remake.
We have the choice to make their recipe as is or be inspired by it to create a different version.
On the 20th of each month, we all post and reveal our blog partners!
My Surprise Recipe Swap partner is Sherry at Cafe Vita. Sherry dedicates her blog to “Recipes that contain fresh ingredients, always emphasizing the importance of both flavor AND texture.”
When I saw this Brussels sprouts recipe with crunchy nuts and sweet dried fruit I knew I’d give it a try. I drizzled this salad with a little light agave syrup but amber or dark would be good also. I’m the only one that eats those little leafy nuggets, so I cut the recipe back a little.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
  • 2 cups Brussels Sprouts
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 Tablespoon Agave syrup
  • Salt and pepper

Directions
Cut bottoms of the Brussels Sprouts and quarter lengthwise. Shred a few for added texture.
Sauté sprouts in oil until crisp tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with cranberries and pecans.
Drizzle agave syrup over top.

Sherry’s original recipe can be found here: Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad w/ Pecans & Cranberries .

Would you like to join in the fun? Stop by Jutta’s blog and sign up today! Maybe we will be future swap partners!
