January Seasonal Recipe: Brussels Sprout Salad

Brussels sprouts are not just for Christmas and if you try this salad you'll see why! I grabbed a couple of bargain bags of sprouts post-Christmas and this 10p pack is going a long way.

This salad is best served warm and would go nicely with a vinegarette, or is also delicious on its own.
