Cup after cupful of quartered Brussels sprouts are skillet-fried to golden perfection, then tossed with toasted garlic, sweet pears, Bibb lettuce and creamy garlic aioli. Then gild the lily with an unearthly burnt honey dressing, made by boiling the golden liquid multiple times until it takes on a dark amber luster. Just try to tell us you hate Brussels sprouts after this Meatless Monday meal. Get the recipe for the Fried Brussels Sprouts Salad here and the Burnt Honey dressing here.
