Roasted Brussels Sprout Salad with Creamy Curry Dressing
Spending time with good friends, especially over good food, really feeds my soul. My friend Cathy invited Chris and I over for a potluck dinner last night. Cathy made a delicious Vegetable Shepard’s Pie, a recipe she found in Bon Appetit Magazine, and Chris brought a Creamy Vegetable Soup and beautiful Apple Rose Pastries for dessert. I will share those recipes once I have them. I brought this delicious and beautiful Brussels Sprout Salad with Creamy Curry Dressing. This would be a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving menu. Enjoy!!
