Brussels Sprouts Christmas Salad

---

I love this dish; it can serve as either a salad or a vegetable. at a buffet, i let it serve as both so as not to clutter up the plates with too many food items. the red and green colors are perfect for a christmas meal. it can be prepared ahead which is always a help. sometimes i even use a prepared vinaigrette. i especially like girard's champagne dressing. note that cooking time is actually chilling time. this recipe originally came from bh&g.
