Brussels Sprouts Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing is my favorite all-seasons salad! It is bright with citrus for those spring and summer days while the hearty brussels sprouts, bacon, dried cranberries, seeds, and nuts leave you warm and full on the brisk fall and winter nights. Not only is it delicious, it is ridiculously easy to make and can be done in less than 30 minutes!
