We are loving Brussel sprouts at the moment! There's so many delicious ways to prepare them—roasting, grilling, deep frying... But, one of our favourite ways to prepare the famous sprouts is in a fresh salad. Tossed with a combo of kale, bacon, and pecans, this is the best holiday side for any get-together, most especially your fancy dinner. Enjoy!
