Ok, so this caught my eye. I love cesear salad and it does NOT love me. One delicious serving and I’m in pain, cramps, intestinal upset. Not fun and not worth it anymore for me.
But I have just come upon this recipe and I am very curious. Perhaps I’ll give it a try this weekend. We are having family over for dinner so they can be my test subjects. My mother-in-law loves Brussels Sprouts, so perhaps I’ll have won her over already just by including them.
