For a deeper flavor, try roasting the Brussels sprouts before adding them to the salad. To save time, you can use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts. A splash of lemon juice in the vinaigrette brightens the flavors. Consider adding crumbled goat cheese for a creamy counterpoint to the other ingredients. For a vegetarian version, substitute the smoked sausage with pan-fried halloumi cheese or smoked tofu. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar can be used as substitutes.
