Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 6 cups butter lettuce
  • salad dressing of choice to taste
  • ½ cup mandarin oranges or another fruit - seasonal works well
  • 1 small avocado diced
  • ½ cup walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • pinch of salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 vegan sausage Tofurkey Beer Brats used, sliced
  • EVOO for pan - about 2-3 tsp

Instructions

  • Toss the salad with your dressing and avocado, set aside.
  • Warm a skillet over high heat. Add a splash of EVOO. Add the beer brats and cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. A minute before they are done, add the nuts to one side of the pan. Toss a bit to toast. Add the maple syrup over top the nuts. Toss a bit to coat. Allow to simmer on low heat for a minute, then turn off the heat. As the nuts cool they will get a bit stickier. Add a pinch of salt to the nuts.
