The salad does look pretty good.
I can't face brussel sprouts though. My mother cooked them until they were a nasty, grey soggy mess and even decades later I avoid them.

Tom said...

...the salad would be my favorite.

Jeanie said...

They all look good but that Christmas salad is incredibly beautiful. That will make an appearance on my table for sure!

No matter how I try, I cannot fully like Brussels sprouts...and I think they look delicious.

Another truly terrific Tuesday trio! Thank you, Jan:)

Jan - they all look wonderful; I think my favorite would be the Brussel sprouts, followed by the salad!

Mary Kirkland said...

I love brussels sprouts and know so many people who don't. They are delicious.

Chatty Crone said...

I'll take the Brussel sprouts and yule log.

Lorrie said...

Such beautiful and tasty dishes for this season of feasting and celebration!

Iris Flavia said...

I love the salad (instead of salmon I´ll take chicken, though).

Haha, guess what´s waiting in the fridge here! I have too much cheese, so your Brussels Sprout Soup it´s this week again!
Hubby cannot have it but NEEDED to share one Sprout right away yesterday, when I was preparing.

Jo said...

I love that imaginative way to serve Brussels sprouts.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I bought sprouts for Thanksgiving. I love them and will make this tree, too. I'll probably use carrots for the trunk, though.

pam nash said...

I like the Brussel sprout tree. An interesting way to serve them.

Great ideas here, especially in the Brussel sprouts and parsnips section....Alas, I don't think dates are for me.

Snowbird said...

I'll give roasting the sprouts a go this year, I tried it recently with cauliflower and it was gorgeous.xxx

Teresa said...

Me ha encantado. Besitos.

Martha said...

They are all such lovely ideas!

William Kendall said...
