This is a heavenly salad with roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, as well as added chilli flakes and lemon for a zesty kick. Sweet potato is much less starchy than regular white potato and sprouts are an amazing veg packing their punch with heaps of vitamin C and K, which makes this salad a really fab, healthy option. Brussels sprouts can be found in abundance around Christmas time, so this recipe is perfect to make during the festive period. It's delicious made year-round though too! The crushed walnuts add extra crunch to make this salad full of lovely textures as well as a variety of colours and flavours.
