Notes
I use Wellsley Farms Organic Salad Toppings from BJ’s which includes dried cranberries, dried cherries, raisins, sliced almonds, walnuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds. You can find similar brands at any grocery store or create your own using a handful of dried cranberries, dried cherries, raisins, sliced almonds,walnuts, pepitas and sunflower seeds.
I shave my own Brussels sprouts but most grocery stores always sell shaved Brussels sprouts in the produce section. You would want roughly about 12-13 ounces of shaved Brussel sprouts if you purchase them already shaved.
