It strengthens your body's natural defenses against disease, including cancer. Make this salad with feta and walnuts and you'll change your mind about brussels sprouts.
Instructions
1. Pour the lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl. Add the honey and mix vigorously until the honey dissolves.

4. Slice the onion into thin strips. Chop the walnuts into small pieces. Add them to the salad.
