A salad with an original twist, because instead of using Roman lettuce, we go with Brussels sprouts, and instead of chicken, tofu will be our protein. This salad can be served as a light meal and it’s perfect for lunch. Plus it’s a salad that can be stored up to 2 days in the fridge.
To have a delicious and perfectly crispy salad, it’s important to leave the Brussels sprouts in the dressing for 1 hour, this will soften the salad. If you don’t have the patience to wait and you eat it immediately the flavor will be there but you may find it a bit rough under the tooth!
