This is a Minnesota spin on this trendy vegetable. Fresh Brussels sprouts make a fine salad, and this is one of my favorites. Akin to coleslaw, Brussels sprouts are hearty like cabbage yet more tender, with a slightly larger depth of flavor. Brussels sprouts salad is easily assembled and elevates a simple lunch to a new level. It also holds up well as a signature salad for a holiday meal.

This recipe combines chopped fresh cranberries with oranges, apples, celery, crushed pineapple, and pecans with cherry gelatin to make a refreshing holiday side dish.
