Brussel Sprouts
Remove each layer of the leaves of the brussel sprouts very gently. Blanch the brussel sprout leaves for 2 seconds in boiling water and refresh in ice water (retain the shape of the leaves).
Finely shred the remaining inner parts of the brussel sprouts.
Place the leaves and the shredded brussel sprouts into a bowl. Add the cranberries and the walnuts and combine gently before adding the dressing.
