Brussels-Sprouts-Salad-with-C
Crunchy, sweet, and tart with every bite. This festive salad is perfect for a holiday feast.

Ingredients

 Brussels sprouts (1 pound), washed and trimmed or 2 (10-ounce) packages of shaved Brussels sprouts
 ½ cup sweet red onion, thinly sliced
 ½ cup dried tart cherries
 1 tablespoon lemon zest
 2 ounces feta cheese, vegan or dairy

Instructions

Toast the walnuts in a single layer in a large skillet (no oil) on medium heat. Stir often, toasting for 7-8 minutes or until fragrant and lightly brown. Be careful not to burn. This can happen easily. Remove from the heat and place on a plate to stop cooking. Coarsely chop and set aside.
