Thai Brussels sprouts salad

Today I was able to get into the kitchen an spend part of the day cooking and baking. I have not had a chance in the past few weeks because of school but today was the day to get in my kitchen and get cooking. Besides making several other recipes I made this Thai Brussels sprouts salad that was nothing but sensational.

For those that know me, Thai food is one of my ultimate favorite cuisines. I could eat Thai food all day everyday of the week.

I don’t get to cook with brussels sprouts often but since they are in season I figured I come up with a recipe and give them a go. I am so glad I did. This Thai Brussels sprouts salad was nothing but refreshing, tasty and delicious.

The dressing really made the salad stand out. I love super fresh flavors and the lime in the dressing together with the sweet and sour sauce was a great mixture. I know I am going to be using this salad dressing for time to come. Next time I make this recipe I will for sure double the batch of the dressing.

On another note, I know the holidays are upon us. I wanted to start experimenting with desserts. I know I have not made pies in a while and I really would like to make some of the recipes I have in the blog for apple pie.

Apple pie, such a classic, I mean who doesn’t like apple pie right? I think if I make it I will do it in a large cookie baking sheet. I want apple pie for days to come so I think that would be large enough to have it for 2-3 days at least.

Anyways, I hope you try this Thai Brussels sprouts salad. If you don’t know what to make with brussels sprouts you would love this salad. I am telling you, it is the absolute bomb.

Enjoy!
