Instructions
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
When the oil is hot but not smoking, add Brussels sprouts cut side down and cook, without touching for 4-5 minutes, until nicely charred. Toss, season with salt and freshly cracked pepper and cook another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl on the side.
Whisk dressing together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside or place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Add arugula to a large serving platter or bowl, top with pomegranate seeds, pepitas, goat cheese, and charred Brussels sprouts. Toss with dressing just before serving. *See notes about arugula if prepping ahead.
ENJOY!!
Notes:
*If you would like to prep ahead, wait to add the arugula until just before serving so it doesn’t get too wilted.
