Equipment

  • frying pan

Ingredients

  • 5 Brussels sprouts ~ 4-5 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3/4 cup quinoa, cooked 1/4 cup pre-cooked
  • 3 cups raw spinach ~ 3 ounces
  • 3/4 cup carrots, chopped ~ 3 ounces
  • 1 cup white mushrooms, chopped ~ 2 ounces
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped ~ 1 ounces

Instructions

  • Wash the Brussels sprouts and chop off the base of each. Collect any leaves that fall off.
  • Chop one clove of garlic and set that aside with the extra leaves.
  • Slice the sprouts into halves or thirds, depending on their size.
  • Place a large frying pan over low to medium heat and add 1 TBSP of olive oil. You can use higher heat, it will just take less time and the insides of the sprouts may not be cooked as thoroughly.
  • Place the sprouts in the pan to brown on one side.
  • Chop the other vegetables and place in a large bowl.
  • When the sprouts are browned on one side, flip them over and, if you prefer, add another TBSP of olive oil. Add the extra leaves and garlic to the pan.
  • When the sprouts are browned on both sides, take the pan off the heat and let them cool before adding them to the salad.
  • Add your dressing of choice, or simply use the oil from the sauté.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste, mix, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Nutrition data is provided as a courtesy, calculated automatically, and may differ depending on your specific ingredients and amounts.
  • The number of calories will vary based on how much oil you use to sauté the Brussels sprouts and whether or not you use additional dressing.
  • The calories in this data mostly come from the 2 tablespoons of oil I used for sautéing, but know that not all of it will wind up in the salad.
