Spicy Tuesday – Brussels Sprouts Blueberry and Pecan Salad – Parsley

October 29, 2020

Brussels Sprouts always make us think of fall, its pecan season AND we still have good blueberries in the market…that makes this salad seasonal and delicious! If you haven’t had a shredded sprouts salad, this one is a great example – You’ll be using sprouts for all your salads!

We use parsley as part of our salad greens in the bowl. They add color, flavor and nutrition! Parsley contains flavonoids. These re naturally-occurring plant compounds that can counter disease-causing agents in the body. Myricetin is a flavonoid found in parsley. It has been shown to help prevent skin cancer. Parsley contains one of the highest concentrations of myricetin! Dice up at least 2 tablespoons of parsley to get nutrition from the herb. This recipe calls for more than that so you should feel great after eating the healthy herb full of Vitamin A,C, and K. Enjoy the yummy salad.
