Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Arugula Salad

I could eat Brussels sprouts for breakfast I love them so much. Everyone loves them roasted with a little bacon and olive oil, but I don’t think anyone else in the household is likely to request them in the morning! Likewise, they probably wouldn’t get as excited about this salad recipe as I did. That means there was enough for me to enjoy for multiple meals, however, so I don’t feel to badly.

I love the tang of the feta contrasted with the roasted sprouts and sweet grapes. There’s a lot of potential to tweak the recipe as well. Toasted pecans would be a delicious addition, as would a little crispy, crumbled bacon or some turkey for a protein boost. I included some roasted sunflower seeds and really liked the added crunch.

While the homemade dressing is easy and tasty, you could certainly top this one off with a different vinaigrette as well. Dairy-free? Simply skip the cheese.

Further Food Commentary:

Brussels Sprouts have a bad reputation but they are full of nutrients and can be easily made with a simple roast. They are high in fiber as well as Vitamin C and Vitamin A, despite their green color. Vitamin C is important for keeping your immune system running strong and Vitamin A works to keep you teeth, skin, and eyes healthy!
