I often buy fruits and vegetables in bulk from Costco then I’m left to figure how to eat them before they all go bad. Last week I bought a two-pound bag of brussels sprouts. While I do love them, I find it rather challenging to eat them daily. Tonight I made a chilled brussels sprouts dish with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and grated pecorino romano. It’s a great side, and I usually eat them before anything else on my plate.

i looooooove brussels sprouts but i’m really not sure i could eat them chilled.
nom nom! I love brussels sprouts but haven’t tried them with cheese and chilled! Great recipe and will give these babies a try!
This is one of my favorite ways of eating them.
A nice photo of chilled Brussels sprouts. Well my husband likes Brussels sprouts, I would probably give them a miss. I am sure they are tasty 🙂
Adding cheese is such a good flavor enhancer to just about anything! I’ll have to give this a try.
My hubby loves brussels sprouts but I’m not sure if he’ll eat them cold – so I’ll see how this goes over!
I love Brussels sprouts but don’t know many ways to prepare them. I’ve never tried then chilled — now I will! Thanks, Sherry!
