Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad
- 1/4 c toasted pecans
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 pear, sliced
- 1 lemon wedge
- 1 pkg shaved brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp. crasins
- 2 c arugula

"Goes on Everything" Dressing
- 2 minced garlic cloves

- 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. dijon or spicy mustard
- 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper
Instructions
- For the dressing, mix all ingredients in a sealed container and shake or whisk together in a bowl. This recipe makes extra to use later and can stay refrigerated up to 2 weeks!
- In a large skillet, toast the pecans. About 6 minutes, stirring or tossing occasionally. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté brussels sprouts and raisins for about 5 minutes, just until the brussels have begun to cook and are bright green.
- Slice the pear in long thin sliced and immediately squeeze the lemon juice on top. This helps the pears to keep their color and not turn brown.
- Add warm brussels to a bowl with 2 cups of arugula and toss.
- Add 3 tbsp dressing, pears, nuts, and gorgonzola crumbles. Toss and serve warm! This is also delish cold so can be made ahead and refrigerated or eaten as a leftover the next day!
