Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad

This Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad is an easy, healthy, recipe for all. Plus, it’s great for holiday gatherings and any day lunches. Because the leaves of these cruciferous vegetables are heartier, they hold up well when prepared and dressed  a day ahead. Just store in an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Produce Storage Tips

Don’t rinse or remove the stem from leafy produce like kale before storing. Wrap leaves in dry paper towels and seal in a large plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible when sealing. Store cut kale in a sealed container in the coldest part of the refrigerator, and keep items like whole Brussels sprouts in a bowl covered with plastic wrap with air holes.
