It appears that I can trick Nolan into thinking brussel sprouts taste good with this salad! I watched him as he scarfed this down so fast....meanwhile I'm thinking about how clever I am, then he casually tells me that he knew they were brussel sprouts the whole time. It's hard to outsmart a 12 year old. The point here is that he liked it and so did I! A healthier version of the mix you can get at costco, all props to the dressing!
