Brussels Sprouts

When I was in Nashville we went to a restaurant called Adele's and I had the Brussels Sprouts that was really good. 

I found the recipe https://www.austinfoodandwinefestival.com/2014/thanksgiving-sides-with-chef-jonathan-waxman/

Cauliflower Salad

When I was in Nashville we went to a restaurant called Adele's and I had a cauliflower salad that was really good.  I think it would be a great non-starchy potluck side.

I found the recipe https://www.austinfoodandwinefestival.com/2014/thanksgiving-sides-with-chef-jonathan-waxman/

Although I must admit I won't be using champagne vinegar and will be using rice wine vinegar instead.
