Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad was one of the side dishes on the menu at Cracker Barrel today. I had never noticed it on the menu before so it may be a new offering. Both my husband and I were curious about this dish because we had both never tried it. He ordered meat loaf and it came with 3 side dishes so I talked him into ordering the Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad as number 3 side dish. He took a few bites of it and said he liked it and then passed the dish to me. I wasn't sure if he was just bluffing and it was really bad or if he was just passing it to me since he knew I was going to ask for a bite to "test" it. I found it to be okay and would eat it, but I think it would be a dish or salad that would have to grow on me. It also contained dried cranberries and chopped pecans. The whole salad was chopped into small pieces actually. I found that the kale or maybe it was the brussels sprouts were very very bitter and the sweetness of the dried cranberries didn't cover this up enough. Have you ever had Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad? Do you or did you like it? Photo: Pixaby (I forgot to snap a photo while we were eating.)

I haven't tried them or even seen them. Or it's because only elite people are eating them here.

It is a dish served at one of the chain restaurants here in the US. I'm sure you could make it at home too.

I haven't had this but I've had a nice broccoli salad that had dried cranberries and nuts in it. It was yummy.

I've never eaten kale before. I know it is healthy but my mom never cooked a lot of vegetables. If she didn't like it, she didn't cook it.

I'm not sure. It was either mayonaise or a creamy ranch. It actually needed more and something with more sweetness to combat the bitterness. I think a creamy Italian would have worked well. I only took a bite of it, as I had a garden salad as one of my sides.
