Sarah Malikowski first got the idea for this salad from a restaurant menu that featured raw Brussels sprouts. “I have been serving this salad as a side for dinner as well as a main dish for lunch at work. It would be great for a picnic, but looks pretty enough to serve at a fancy dinner,” she says.
