Ingredients

For the Salad:

• 2 cups brussel sprouts about 15 sprouts
• 4 cups fresh arugula or greens of your choice, spinach is also great
• 1 pear chopped
• 1/2 cup almonds or pecans

Instructions

1. Begin by cutting your sprouts in half, and removing the bottom stem. Place inside a food processor or blender and pulse for 10-20 seconds or until the brussels have been "chopped".
2. In a large bowl toss in arugula, brussels sprouts, pear, raisins, and almonds or pecans.
3. To make the dressing, place the ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Whisk or shake until completely incorporated. Toss 1/2 cup of the dressing on the salad. You can use the entire jar, or reserve some for a later use. Adjust the dressing to your taste!
