Roasted Pear, Kumara and Brussels Sprout Salad
We shared her Nourishing Breakfast Salad, and her Roasted Pumpkin, Beetroot, Chickpea and Barley Salad, and today, we’re sharing one final amazing salad recipe from the founder of Lorna Jane activewear, Lorna Jane Clarkson’s new book, Nourish: The Fit Woman’s Cookbook: Roasted Pear, Kumara and Brussels Sprout Salad!
Hearty, full of in-season foods for this time of year, and packed with lots of rich flavor and nutrition, this is a Brussels sprout salad that is simple to put together yet feels fancy enough to serve to company or at a holiday gathering. Oh, and don’t be intimidated by the “kumara” in the title — it’s orange sweet potato!
