Ingredients

1 lb. Brussel Sprouts 454g
5 oz. baby arugula 142g
1/4 cup pecan pieces chopped (50g)
1/4 tsp Splenda or sweetener of choice
4 oz goat cheese crumbed (115g)
1/2 cup dried cherries 80g

Instructions

Wash Brussels spouts well and gently dry. Cut off the nubby ends of the Brussels and discard along with any discolored outer leaves. Then, with a sharp knife, roughly chop/spread the Brussels sprouts. Place the arugula and chopped Brussels in a large bowl and set aside.
In a small skillet, add pecan pieces and spray generously over top with nonstick cooking spray to coat. Sprinkle Splenda overtop. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, or until pecans start to toast. Then set aside and let cool.
Add the cherries, goat cheese, and toasted pecans to the bowl with the arugula and Brussels, and toss to gently combine.

Notes

TIME SAVING TIP! Buy Brussels Sprouts already shaved. They keep these refrigerated in the produce section at most grocery stores. Huge time saver!

Make it warm! Saute Brussels in a skillet with 1 Tbsp olive oil for more tender Brussels. So yummy this way!

Storage:

If serving for a crowd, you can go ahead and toss with salad dressing. Salad tossed with dressing will keep well covered in the fridge for 2 days. Stored separately, the dressing will stay fresh as long as the yogurt you used for it is fresh. If there is any separation, just give it a good stir! Without salad dressing, salad will stay fresh in the fridge, covered for 5-7 days.

This salad works great as a side dish OR a meal. To make it a balanced meal, just add some protein!
