Buckwheat And Brussels Sprout Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing is a great gluten-free meal-prep dish!
Are there any Brussels Sprouts lovers here? We get it, the vegetable is not very popular, but have you ever tried it raw in a salad?
Trust us, it’s good. It’s very different from the cooked or roasted vegetable, it’s fresh and crunchy, and makes a great salad base!
We have already shared our perfectly roasted brussel sprouts and a great brussel sprouts salad, but now it’s time to spin it!
Meet our Buckwheat And Brussels Sprout Salad! It’s filling and light, crunchy and zingy with a delicious honey-mustard homemade dressing to bring the flavors together!
This time we combined the salad with some Mediterranean flavors, like prosciutto, feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice and more!
This dish should be fairly easy to put together as it mostly uses pantry and fridge staples. But, bear in mind, this recipe is not vegan, though it focuses on plant-based ingredients.
