- The salad can be prepped ahead, but keep the dressing off until at most an hour before serving to prevent the sprouts from discoloring.
- If you cannot find sumac, substitute with paprika.
- Red pepper refers to red pepper flakes.
- You can use shredded brussels sprouts, fresh pomegranate seeds, or pre-brined turkey from stores like Trader Joe's to speed up prep.
