This Warm Brussels Sprouts and Sage Salad is a deliciously sweet yet savory dish that can easily be thrown together for a quick healthy meal option! Tastes great cold too!
I have been ALL about brussels sprouts these days. Basically brussels sprouts and the Olympics. However lately I’ve been roasting them so much that I wanted to mix things up a bit and try something different. So what’s the next best thing?? Yup I made one big salad!
I mean it doesn’t get much easier than throwing everything into a big sizzling skillet, tossing the veggies with a yummy sweet vinaigrette and serving with fresh slices of fruit. Browning them in the pan gives the brussels sprouts so much added flavor while still keeping them nice and crunchy. I also suggest adding some chopped chicken for added protein to this salad for a filling healthy lunch or dinner! If you need a good marinade idea for the chicken, try the recipe I shared with my honey-orange chicken salad – the flavors are very similar to this dish and honestly one of my favorite chicken recipes for salads!
Now personally I love this salad fresh out of the skillet nice and warm, but I do want to note that you could also enjoy this salad cold too! I saved my leftovers the other day and they tasted just as delicious right out of the fridge, but this is totally a personal preference.
Also can we talk about how amazing the mixture of fresh sage and orange is in this salad? I’ve always been a fan of savory/sweet recipes so adding the fresh sage to this dish was a no-brainer. I also tossed in some toasted almond slices because I love crunch and texture with my salads, but feel free to use walnuts or pecans OR you could even omit them altogether if you have a nut allergy – totally up to you and will not change the flavor of this dish!
