When you think of salad, does your mind go directly to a head of Iceberg lettuce torn into bite size pieces!? #barf I totally can NOT gag down a bowl of that stuff! At the minimum give me Romaine and Baby Spinach Leaves, but if you want to take a walk on the wild side can we talk about Brussels Sprouts and Kale!? Oh yes we can!!! You are going to love this recipe when we slaw our Brussels, add a homemade Vinaigrette, Fruit, Nuts and Parmesan...and let's not forget the BACON!!! For an 1/8th of the recipe it is only 199 calories, 20g net carbs, and 7g protein. If you wanna turn it into a full meal, add your favorite grilled Chicken or Salmon! Hello Summer Salads ;)
