Shaved Brussels Sprouts Mason Jar Salad August 14 2017, 0 Comments
This is one of my favorite mason jar salads. Brussels sprouts are packed with nutrients and quinoa and chickpeas are great sources of protein. It takes a little more time to prepare than my go-to salads, but it is definitely worth it!
