I realized the other day that although I’ve been sharing a lot of my favorite recipes lately, I have been majorly skimping on providing you guys with a huge recipe group: my favorite side dishes! I feel like anyone and everyone can use a fresh new side dish idea to pull out of their back pocket at a moment’s notice. They’re even great to dress up a store-bought rotisserie chicken, or bring to a potluck dinner! My goal is to start sharing one stellar side dish a month. I thought I would start with one that every person in my family loves: my Brussels Vinaigrette! I call the style of these Brussel sprouts “vinaigrette” because the ingredients are essentially a warm dressing and so so yummy. I had a dish similar to it in France several years ago, and I made up my own version at home!
Marlowe absolutely loves this Brussel Vinaigrette dish, and I love that she’s eating such a healthy side dish! They also cook up really quickly, which is always a win in my book! This recipe serves two adults and two kids as a side dish, but can be easily multiplied for more mouths.

Oh em gee!!! These look so yummy and remind me of a German type of side dish. My whole house including my 13 and 5 year olds love all the things with Brussel sprouts so I’m definitely going to give this side dish a whirl! 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Would you mind sharing which mustard you use?? I find mustards are NOT all created equal!

Just in case there was any doubt that Marlowe loves her sprouts!! LOL
My daughter informed me at 5yo that sprouts were her favourite vegetable – I was horrified because they are definitely not mine! 16yo now, still loves them 🙂
Wow! These are amazing! Had these tonight for dinner and they totally stole the show. I love your recipes, so delicious and easy to pull off. Thank-you!!
Yay! I love hearing that! I always gravitate towards recipes that are delish and not so complicated– I mean who has the time for THAT! xo
