Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or some finely chopped green chili to the dressing. If you're short on mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute for a healthier twist. Ensure your Brussels sprouts are cooked just right; they should be tender yet still crisp. A pinch of turmeric can enhance the color and flavor, making it reminiscent of other American recipes.
