I found an inspiring recipe the other day when I was flipping through a magazine at the library. Brussels sprouts with kalamata olives and tangerines?! I love roasted brussels sprouts, and this idea sounded fascinating, so I decided to give it a go.
I made a few changes to the original inspiration, to make it look a little something like this: roasted purple & white cauliflower accompanied by brussels sprouts, tossed in madarin orange zest & juice with rice wine vinegar and olive oil, topped with segmented mandarin oranges and kalamata olives, simply seasoned with black pepper and sea salt.
This is a tasty and beautiful side dish, and I especially liked the combination of the kicky kalamatas with the juicy citrus.
That’s so different and such a gorgeous salad! Beautiful photo!
Thank you! : )
MMMMMM! What more can I say? What a beautiful & appetizing Brussels sprouts salad! I love the new look from your blog: way better!

Oh my. I love this! Your blog looks wonderful by the way! Congrats on the redesign!
Thank you, Somer! : )
Gorgeous. Love the combo of olives and orange. You gotta wonder who tried that idea first. Must’ve been borne of a bare pantry!
Thank you!
Right? Power to the bare pantry/fridge!
Wow, this looks amazing! What an interesting combo! On my “To-Do” list!
