Is it BRUSSEL SPROUTS OR BRUSSELS SPROUT or BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
Until a few years back, I always wondered what it is the right spelling. These tiny cabbage are named after the city of Belgium called Brussels, so the correct spelling is BRUSSELS SPROUT.
However English is a funny language and we tend to translate the common mispronunciations and carry on with it. Just like Brussel Sprout is a common error in English Language!

I love Brussel sprouts but the kids won’t touch them, so your fab receipe would be my first port of call so the whole family can enjoy them.
I love sprouts and I’m always looking for new ways to eat them. I’d love to use the slicer to make this salad! Sounds so delicious.
Never considered sprouts for a salad (although I do like sprouts!) I would certainly like to be more adventurous with salads, and I am looking forward to the warmer days where I can experiment a bit with more choice of ingredients.
Actually, I’d love to try out your recipe. I’m a massive brussel sprouts fan 🙂
I am the salad queen so would go for any seasonal salad. At this time of year, I would make a coleslaw with red and green cabbage. Thanks for the salad recipe for using sprouts. Vey interesting.
I’d make a coleslaw with a yoghurt and herb dressing – this brussel sprout salald sounds really interesting too!
I love Brussel Sprouts, so I fancy trying the one you’ve posted.
I would love to give your version a try soon, We grow our own sprouts! Looks delish, btw!
That looks so good! I am a massive salad fan, loving the sprouts idea 🙂 I’d make a salad based around onion and mushroom (I know – I’m odd!). Can’t wait to try this brussels sprout salad with vinaigrette!
