Brussels Sprouts Salad with apples has the best flavors of summer. It may only be spring right now, but I am always dreaming of summertime.

The fresh produce from the farmer’s markets and all the lighter salads with citrus flavors. Ah, yes summertime is my favorite.

The light crunch from the Brussels sprouts and the sweetness from the apples mix together along with the light and zesty hints from the lemon.

Yes, it’s the perfect summertime salad.
