Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 2 pears diced
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • juice from ½ a lemon
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup pecans
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash and drain your salad greens of choice and set aside.
  • Wash your Brussels sprouts and trim, peeling off about 1-2 cups of leaves and setting aside.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half and add to a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper and bake for 15-20 minutes stirring halfway through.
  • Meanwhile on the stovetop over medium heat add the diced pears with 1 tsp lemon juice and ½ cup water to a nonstick pan. Cover for about 15-20 minutes or until the pears have softened (note you may need to add more water to the pan while cooking so that the pear don’t stick).
  • To make the vinaigrette combine the lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic salt and pepper and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • To assemble the salad add the salad greens to a large bowl and add in the brussel sprout leaves, and top with the cooked brussel sprout halves, warm sautéed pears, vinaigrette and toss.
  • Finally top with pecans and feta cheese and serve.
