Helpful Eating Tip #1
Don't drink cold water when you are eating, it stops digestion. Ice water can be harmful because it damages your body's ability to properly digest food.
1. Using a mandoline, thinly shave the brussels sprouts lengthwise.
2. In a small fry pan over medium-low heat, toast the walnuts, stirring, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
3. Put the shaved brussels sprouts in a bowl and add the walnut oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and gently mix.
4. Divide the arugula among individual plates. Spoon the brussels sprouts and their juices over the arugula, garnish with the walnuts and serve immediately. Serves 4. *Recipe Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day, by Georgeanne Brennan (Weldon Owen, 2012).
