mediterranean diet: Brussels sprouts & couscous

the new "it" girl

Brassica oleracea is having a moment. I see recipes for it everywhere. It helps that this plant comes in six popular varieties, namely Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and kohlrabi. They are not members of the same family, they are the same plant!

And while I don’t reach for Brussels sprouts as often as broccoli and cauliflower, this salad inspired by Sheela Prakash, has converted me with each addictive crunchy bite.
