Our Eating with Ellie theme this week is Sensational Salads, chosen by Kayte. I chose to make Ellie's Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Hazelnuts and Apricots from Weeknight Wonders.
Ellie states that this is a variation on coleslaw, perfect for a barbecue. I simply served my salad with pan fried fish and steamed sweet potato. I was not sure how this salad would go, but I really enjoyed it. The Brussels sprouts have a slightly peppery flavour which makes the salad a little different to the usual, and the apricots add sweetness, while the hazelnuts add crunch.
To see what the others made for this week's theme, visit the LYL section of the EwE website.

This sounds delicious, three ingredients that I love.
I tried a blanched Brussels sprout salad a while back and it was really good. I tried recreating it at home too and as you say it lends a really nice crunch to a salad :D
So great you are still just using WW for your dishes. If I liked sprouts this would be a great salad!
I'm not a huge brussels sprouts fan but really like the idea of adding hazelnuts and dried apricots.
Oh this brussel sprouts salad looks fabulous...let me see, let me see...yes, I have those ingredients so I might have to take a break here and make that for lunch! YUM!
Finally got around to making a Sensational Salad this week and posting it today. I forgot that I made this salad and took a photo of it so now I need to wait for the next category to be able to use this one, it was so good. I love Brussels sprouts so this was perfect.
