Hi Reader, You know a salad was a good one when you pull out the leftovers from the fridge and eat directly from the bowl, and I have one such salad for you to try. It's my new Italian chopped Brussels sprouts salad, and I'm convinced the explosion of flavors will bring some fresh new excitement into your veggie-eating life (and in only 15 minutes!). It's packed with bold flavors from briny olives, zippy pepperoncini, creamy salty cheese (feta, mozz, or provolone - you pick), red onion, chickpeas, marinated artichokes, and herbs. For the dressing, we're not even going to bother dirtying up another dish. We'll simply drizzle the salad with olive oil, and splash in some light vinegar (cider, red wine, or rice are great) and some pepperoncini brine directly from the jar. The best part? Brussels are a hardy bunch, so they can sit in dressing in the fridge and stay crunchy and fresh. So meal prep away! I love this salad as a side on pizza or spaghetti night, and I also love tossing in leftover chicken for lunches during the week.
Hope you enjoy! Tera P.S. If you make this recipe, I'd love to know! You can reply to this email or comment on the post & give it a rating :) |

Hey Reader, When summer starts, I feel like I enter this beautiful season of less structured dinners. Think Friday summer night vibes, with refreshing drinks & extra good snacks and more of a flowy, low-effort evening. Maybe friends are stopping by, or maybe it's just your fam. On these types of nights, if dinner happens, it happens. But also... if we just ate a whole bunch of crostini topped with thick layers of whipped goat cheese and pickled strawberries, it'd be easy and we'd be quite...
