I love that the majority of grocery stores these days are selling bags of pre-sliced broccoli stems and/or brussels sprouts for a healthy alternative to a traditional cabbage slaw.  A lovely idea for a raw salad side dish, I decided to combine some of the sliced brussels sprouts with crispy, thinly sliced sweet apples, sliced dried apricots and crunchy roasted pepitas.  Topped with a flavorful maple syrup and grainy mustard vinaigrette before serving, try variations on this recipe with some of your other favorite fruits and nuts, and whatever tangy vinaigrette you are in the mood for.
