Warm Brussel Sprouts Salad

This salad is a quick easy take on a warm meal. I love the fact that its versatile and a great way to get fiber into your diet.

What I love about this salad is that it comes together pretty easily. The potatoes act like croutons, giving this salad a little extra crunch (and its gluten-free!). If you buy pre-cut Brussel sprouts it's even quicker. I have also made this with many variations, in an effort to include more produce be ore it spoils, i.e. tomatoes, arugula, onions. You can also add some farro, bulgar or quinoa to make it more filling.

Overall, this recipe is vegan, but I like to add Feta or even goat cheese for a creamy touch. For my vegan followers, you can add nutritional yeast to the potatoes and chickpeas before baking them.
