Oh, the Brussels and Berry Salad from Black Canyon in Fort Wayne is a standout! Here's why it's so delicious: Perfect Balance of Flavors: The salad combines earthy Brussels sprouts with the natural sweetness of berries (usually strawberries or blackberries). The contrast between the two creates a unique, refreshing flavor profile that’s both savory and sweet. Texture Play: The Brussels sprouts are typically shaved or finely chopped, giving them a crisp bite without being overwhelming. Paired with the juicy, tender berries, it adds a really nice contrast in textures—crunchy and soft all in one bite. Tangy Dressing: The salad is often tossed with a tangy vinaigrette or balsamic dressing that complements the sweetness of the berries while cutting through the richness of the sprouts. That tang helps tie all the flavors together. Additions and Garnishes: Sometimes, there are nuts like candied pecans or crumbled goat cheese or feta, which add depth, a little creaminess, and crunch. Those little touches bring a lot to the overall flavor. Freshness: The salad feels light and fresh, making it feel like a really satisfying dish that still has that clean, vibrant feel. All these elements combined make it one of those dishes that’s both refreshing and comforting at the same time. Have you tried it yourself? What did you think? PS. We recommend adding Salmon!
