Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Spicy Bacon Vinaigrette Recipe

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.
