I love brussels sprouts. I always had them cooked as a kid and liked them drenched in butter. A few years ago I went to the Purple Pig and discovered the wonder of raw brussels sprouts shaved as a salad. It was mild, crispy and creamy. I could have eaten several orders of it. The next week I went home and tried to recreate the recipe. After several tries, I have come to love my own rendition of their delicious salad.

RPM Italian makes a brussel sprout salad, as well. This looks good, I’ll have to give it a try!
Just made this for lunch today and you’re right, it is creamy and delicious just like The Purple Pig’s! Thanks for sharing!
