Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Feta and Almonds

A creamy lemon dressing with bright mint and sharp hits of feta lends a zesty bite to Brussels sprouts and almonds in this fresh, crunchy salad. Sure to satisfy, this protein- and fiber-rich salad goes a long way and keeps hunger at bay. Feta is relatively low in fat compared to other cheeses and high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Eating these nutrients together has been linked to improved bone density.
