Shaved Brussels Sprout and Prosciutto Salad with Top Chef Stephanie Izard

Raw brussels sprouts are amazing in salads when thinly sliced. They offer an entirely different flavor experience to the palate as opposed to the frequently hated cooked version.  Mild, crunchy, and nutrient packed, Top Chef Stephanie Izard shows us how to prepare a beautiful brussel sprout salad with a light vinaigrette, in this video from Whole Foods Market.  She recommends this salad for a Thanksgiving side dish, but this is an excellent choice any time of year when nice looking sprouts are to be found.
