One of my New Year's resolutions is to reduce food waste. Nothing makes me more annoyed than to toss perfectly good food out. The problem is, that sometimes I buy or cook too much. Truth is, we like to eat here! Today I found myself with too much fruit salad and a 1/2 a bag of Brussels sprouts. Clearly there was something I could make from these, right?My fruit salad included chopped pineapple, orange sections, red grapes and apples. But if all you've got is apples, dried apricots or pears, try this recipe anyway! The fruit sweetens up the bitter sprouts. Ginger and soy sauce pair nicely with the combination of fruits and vegetables.Ingredients:10-12 fresh Brussels sprouts, sliced1 apple, chopped1/2 cup pineapple pieces1 orange, peeled and sections cut into thirds1/2 cup grapes1 tsp. ginger paste1 tsp. corn or canola oil1 Tbsp. soy sauce1 tsp. chili garlic pasteDirections:
