For the Brussels Sprouts Salad
Using a mandolin or the shredding blade on a food processor, slice the Brussels sprouts and green cabbage and transfer to a big bowl. You can also just cut the Brussels sprouts and cabbage thinly with a sharp knife if you don't have a food processor or mandolin.
Put it all together - drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix to combine, top with the chopped tempeh and pomegrante seeds
