Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh brussels sprouts, cleaned and ends trimmed
- 1 whole fresh pineapple
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Spiceology Maui Wowee Hawaiian Rub
- 1 tablespoon of Spiceology Cayenne Pepper
- Flake Sea Salt, to taste
- Black Peppercorn, fresh ground
- ½ cup walnuts
Instructions:
For roasted walnuts
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.

- Place walnuts in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Check and stir every 5 minutes. Once roasted, pull the pan out of the oven and place them in a glass bowl to prevent them from continuing to cook. Set aside and let cool.
For the grilled pineapple
- Fire up your grill to cook the pineapple.
- Peel and core fresh pineapple. Remove core and slice into spears. Season pineapple pieces with about 1 teaspoon of the Maui Wowee seasoning, or until coated.

For the Brussels Sprouts
- Thinly slice Brussels sprouts using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place into a glass bowl, and set aside.
- Using a whisk, mix together olive oil, juice of one lemon, 1 teaspoon Maui Wowee. Taste, and season with salt, pepper, and a few dashes of cayenne pepper, if you like it spicy.
To plate
- Lightly dress the brussels sprouts with your favorite dressing or vinaigrette.
- Use your favorite salad bowl and place brussels sprouts in the bowl with half the grilled pineapple.
