For all my salad-haters. Leafy greens just get old sometimes. Prep this stupid-flavorful, spicy, tangy brussels sprouts salad with smoked pork belly balsamic vinegar & olive oil dressing for Whole30 & paleo diet lovers. Or all the regular humans who like scrumptious foods. Feast up, fam.
Ingredients
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
- 1 apple (something sweeter, not a granny smith)
- 8 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 3 Tbsp bacon fat, reserved from cooking the bacon
- ¼ c balsamic vinegar
- ½ c olive oil
- 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
Directions & such
- Using your mandoline slicer set on the smallest setting, shave each brussels sprout down. Add the brussels shreds to a bowl.
- Core the apple and chop into small pieces ~¼-½ inch cubes.
- Cook the bacon using your preferred method (we usually like to cook it up in a cast iron skillet for a few minutes on each side). Allow to cool and crumble or chop into small pieces.
- Toss the shredded brussels sprouts, apple pieces and bacon pieces together until combined.
- Add the spices, bacon fat, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and mustard to a jar with a tight fitting lid. Screw on the lid and shake vigorously until combined and smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
- If preparing ahead of time, store in the fridge, covered in plastic wrap.
