Recipe Creation: Raw Kale + Brussels Sprout "Slaw"

This dish is truly divine.  Brussels sprouts and kale are two of my favorite veggies, and this wholesome "slaw" is a creative way to showcase both in a totally naturally way. Both of these veggies, in their raw form, work perfectly to create a healthy alternative to coleslaw.  I love this salad as a main or a side and it's a great recipe to double because it is even more delicious the next day.  So many anti-oxidents, so little time!
