Today is the kick off of “The Salad Bar”, a club that gets together and posts salads of a particular theme, blog hop style.
What does that mean? That means along with my recipe, at the bottom of this post, you will find links to everyone else’s recipes for the themed salads of the month.
To start things off, we chose berries. I decided to bring you my Cold Brussel Sprout Salad with Blueberries that I originally published on my personal blog, Busy Vegetarian Mom.
This salad keeps well in the refrigerator and be nibbled on all week-long (if you don’t gobble it all up in one sitting)!
I hope you enjoy this and all the rest of the fabulous berry salads!

I’m not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts but this would give me another option to try them out.
I love Brussels sprouts! Sounds wonderful.
Tracy: I can’t eat Brussels sprouts. I am allergic to them, but your salad looks delicious.
What a unique salad! I love Brussels sprouts, so I may have to give this a try.
I really, really, really want to learn to like brussel sprouts. This salad just might do the trick! If not, I know my dad will LOVE it!
This is a lovely salad…very very creative! Love that you can use fresh or dried blueberries, to make this seasonal!
I actually prefer dried berries in this because the texture goes so well with the crisp crunchy brussel sprouts, but using different fresh berries can really add a whole new flavor and dimension to the salad too!
Amazing looking salad, such a cool combination of ingredients!!
You won me over with Brussels sprouts, Tracy! What a fantastic salad!!!
Thanks Liz! It really is so yummy!
I don’t think I’ve ever used brussels sprouts in a salad – but now I know that I need to. This sounds so good.
I had always roasted them myself too until a friend suggested a cold salad. Now Im hooked!
