Recipe: Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw

I made this recipe back in early spring, but it also works well for the fall season.  The cool weather veggies like kale, Brussels sprouts, and endive go nicely with crisp, tart apples this time of year, and both can be found in this recipe.

You can watch me make this recipe on the WWLP-TV Mass Appeal cooking segment here:
