Q

Why do we choose not to offer the Shaved Brussels Salad with the dressing on the side?

A

Because the large surface area of the shaved brussels sprouts makes for a very unpleasant dryness unless they are thoroughly incorporated with the dressing, which is impossible to do yourself at the table with a fork.

The salad is tastefully prepared and not overdressed. Overdressing is a common reason that people tend to order dressing on the side.
