Method
 

For the Salad:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix the 2 BOU Roasted Garlic Seasoning Cubes with 1 cup of boiled water to make a marinade. Let cool slightly.
  3. Place shaved brussels sprouts in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour BOU marinade over brussels sprouts. Remove air from bag and seal. Gently shake the bag to cover Brussels sprouts in the marinade. Place bag laid flat in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning bag over midway through. {if possible, marinade for longer!}
  4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread walnuts in a single layer on the aluminum foil and bake in heated oven for 10 minutes.
  5. Spray or brush grill pan with olive oil to coat. Heat pan on medium high for about one minute. Place sliced nectarines on grill pan in single layer and grill for 3 minutes. Flip nectarine slices and grill other side for 3 minutes more. Remove nectarine slices from the heat. {alternatively you can grill nectarines on a traditional grill}
  6. Assemble your salad. Place marinated brussels sprouts in a large serving bowl {strain if needed}. Top with grilled nectarine slices, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts. Mix gently.
  7. Serve drizzled with prepared dressing & enjoy!
