This recipe was created for my Dinner Party Post and It was inspired by a salad I had at Rolf N Daughter here in Nashville, Tn.
My favorite aspect of this salad is the way that the toasted hazelnuts compliment the brussels sprouts.

I have found over the years that I often prefer to eat brussels sprouts raw than cooked and I think it primarily has to do with how much it tastes like cabbage when it is raw. The key to making a really good brussels salad is to make sure they are sliced thinly. The last thing you want is a giant, hard chunk of the sprout in this delicate salad.
The balance in this salad is absolute perfection because it is the perfect combination of bitter, tangy and sweet. My husband who claims he doesn’t like Brussels sprouts even loves this salad. In short, just saying that this recipe may even convert the most picky of eaters.
Enjoy!
