Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad
This roasted Brussels sprouts salad features halved Brussels sprouts tossed in olive oil, roasted until crispy on the edges, then combined with a balsamic vinaigrette and fresh pomegranate arils. The salad balances the sprouts' caramelized savory flavors with the vinaigrette's acidity and the sweetness and crunch of pomegranate seeds, making a textured, flavorful side or light meal component.
