• Top the salad with pomegranate arils, a sprinkling of feta, and a drizzle of vinaigrette.
• Add the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice to a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces to ¼ cup (about 20-25minutes). Cool slightly.

BRUSSELS SPROUT LEAF AND BABY SPINACH SAUTé

Steps:

• Working with one brussels sprout at a time, peel off each individual leaf, starting from the outside and working toward the middle. Continue to peel until you get to the tough core where it is just too tight to pull any more leaves. Discard the core and put the leaves in a big bowl. Repeat with the remaining brussels sprouts.
• Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add all of the brussels sprout leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and maple syrup and toss to coat. Add the spinach to the pan and toss until it is just barely wilted. It is better just slightly underdone in this case, as it will continue to cook in its own heat.
• Sprinkle with the salt and Marcona almonds and serve immediately.

WARM BRUSSELS SPROUT AND SPINACH SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat until it is crisp and transfer it to paper towels to drain. Heat the fat remaining in the skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the Brussels sprouts with the caraway seeds, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and pale golden. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the oil, the vinegar, and the sugar, and add the spinach. Sauté the mixture over moderately high heat, tossing it, for 1 minute, or until the spinach is wilted. Season the salad with pepper and sprinkle it with the bacon, crumbled.
