I am such a fan of a hearty salad that is full of different seasonal flavors and colors.  For this salad, I played with the idea of a Cobb salad and introduced a taste of autumn.  You could easily switch out or eliminate any of the vegetables that don’t suit you and introduce others.  I included a wide array of color and arranged it in segments of a circle,  to display all the different ingredients.  It is a satisfying, healthy meal and lots of great flavors

  • 6 cups brussel sprouts
