Brussels Sprout Salad

All winter I've been roasting my brussels sprouts in the oven with some other winter-y vegetables like butternut squash, cauliflower, and zucchini, but now that its officially spring, despite the winter weather, I"ve gone from roasting to shaving! It's super easy and super crunchy. I think I almost prefer it more than iceberg lettuce. It's heartier. And finely chopped, they bring you a long way. Five brussels sprouts will yield an entire bowl. *If you make the night before for lunch, the vinaigrette marinates the brussels sprouts without wilting them. They absorb all the beautiful flavors of the lemon, apple cider, & honey vinaigrette.

I'm a huge fan of Tumaro's Low-In-Carb wraps. They are 60 calories each. I found them at my local grocery store in a plethora of bold flavors and at a price point that is right within my budget, $4.99 for a pack of 6. I"ll use them to make low val breakfast sandwiches in the morning, greek yogurt tuna salad or chicken salad for lunch, or simply a quesadilla  with low fat shredded cheese and salsa for a 150 calorie snack. Tonight I made salmon tacos (well technically a burrito) with a mango avocado salsa.
