Low Carb Brussels Sprouts Jicama Salad. When I was messin with various salads using jicama, one of them was this Brussels Sprouts Jicama Salad. I took a photo of it, wrote down everything, ate it, loved it, and promptly lost my written down recipe scratches. I have made it again and this time I’m posting it right away as I do have lots of little pieces of paper with all kinds of thing on them and yes, I do lose some of them.

When you see toasted almonds in a recipe anywhere on this site, I do them on top of the stove in a skillet, using a little bacon grease with maybe 1-2 t depending on how many I do.

- Blanching your shaved Brussels sprouts for about 8-10 seconds will not only perk up the color but also soften them just a little. Of course they will need to be drained and cooled before use.
- It is best to mix your salt (and Just Like Sugar if using) into the lime juice as salt does not dissolve well in oil.
- I actually use 1 drop of Sucralose but Just Like Sugar will keep it paleo.
