This holiday season I want to spend more time with my family and less time in the kitchen. By using Walmart’s online grocery, I can quickly buy all of the ingredients I need such as Birds Eye® Broccoli Florets and Birds Eye® Loaded Potato Bake in order to prepare fast and delicious side dishes for my family.
Ingredients Needed to Make Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Salad

- Frozen Broccoli – make it easy on yourself and purchase Birds Eye® Broccoli Florets
- Brussels Sprouts – adds a salty, crispy bite to the dish
- Chickpeas – for texture
- Olive Oil – to roast everything perfectly
- Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper – for seasoning
- Pomegranate Arils – add a pop of color and sweetness for the holidays. Pro tip – purchase the arils themselves instead of cutting a pomegranate and scooping out the arils
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Arrange the broccoli, brussels sprouts, and chickpeas on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through roasting.
- To make the dressing: whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, thyme, garlic powder, and orange zest. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing to combine. Top the salad with pomegranate arils. Serve warm or at room temperature.
