Serve this brussels sprout salad warm or cold as the perfect fall side dish! It’s easy enough for weeknight dinners, but elegant enough for Thanksgiving dinner.
It’s officially Thanksgiving Week on the blog! One of my favorite weeks of the year because I get to share several new recipes to add to your Thanksgiving feast, while reminiscing about some of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving week recipes!
I can’t believe that I’ve celebrated 7 years of Thanksgivings on the blog!
Throughout the years, I’ve posted dozens of recipes perfect for your Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving celebration, but last year I rounded up my Top 15 Thanksgiving Recipes into one blog post to make planning your Thanksgiving dinner super easy!
This year, I’ve got a few new twists on some classic Thanksgiving recipes, starting with this brussels sprout salad, tossed with an easy homemade dijon dressing, pomegranate seeds and pecans.
This salad is on the smaller side, so perfect for a gathering of 6-8 people, but easy to double if you’ve got a larger party coming to Thanksgiving dinner!
It’s flavorful, colorful and can be served either warm or cold, whatever works best for your Thanksgiving day schedule.
Grab the recipe below and stay tuned all week for this fabulous line-up of new Thanksgiving recipes!
