Brussels sprout, chicken and cherry salad

October 16, 2018 | byVanessa

 

 

Wait. Brussels sprouts…in a salad?

Yes yes, we know, but trust us on this one. Crunchy and slightly sweet, the seasonal sprout makes the perfect base for this hearty fall salad. Plus, adopting this preparation of Brussels sprouts on regular basis can help you to achieve the intake of cruciferous vegetables we recommend here Motive Nutrition, which is of a minimum of three times per week, given their nutrient-density and numerous health benefits.  Combined with shredded chicken, sweet dried cherries and tangy goat cheese, this salad will be a very welcome lunchbox addition.

    Dear Vanessa,
    thank you so much for your inspiration! This recipe sounds delicious. May I ask you if 11/2 cups (of chicken) means a) 5 and a half cup (11 divided by 2) or b)11 and a half cup? I know it sounds ridicoulus, but I’m living in Europe and unfortunately I’m not used to it as we don’t do cooking by cups over here.
    Thank you again,
    Anna
