Purple Brussels Sprouts Salad

Purple Brussels Sprouts Salad

I spotted purple Brussels Sprouts the other day, and I guess they’re a big thing now! The leaves are a deep purple or sea green in color, and they are slightly nuttier and sweeter than the regular old green ones. I decided to roast some and make a salad with them, green cabbage and lettuce greens, and my usual salad additions (roasted pine nuts and cranberries) and it was amazing.
