1 garlic clove

20 large Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced

4 slices bacon or pancetta, cooked and crumbled

1 firm, ripe pear, chopped

½ cup (125 mL) walnuts, toasted and chopped

1/3 cup (175 mL) blue cheese or soft goat cheese, crumbled

2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice

1 Tbsp (15 mL) grainy Dijon mustard

PLACE the lentils in a medium saucepan and add water to cover them by about an inch. Add the garlic, bring to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, or until tender. Drain and discard the garlic. Set lentils aside to cool.
COMBINE the thinly sliced Brussels sprouts with cooled lentils in a bowl.
PLACE olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, honey, and pepper into a jar or bowl. Shake well, or whisk until ingredients are combined. Toss the lentils and sprouts with dressing and let stand for about an hour. Pile onto a platter and top with the bacon, pear, walnuts, and blue cheese before serving.
