Brussels Sprouts Salad
Posted for zaar world tour 2005. from a cookbook of countries along the danube, this came from germany. the original recipe called for a tablespoon of salt but i cut it down to a teaspoon (particularly since the sprouts are cooked in broth). cooking time includes chilling time. i have not tried this recipe yet. update - tried for christmas as per elmotoo's comment. very pretty with tomatoes, and i thought there was too much vinegar in the dressing so i suggest reducing to 1/4 cup as per current ingredients list.
