SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the Brussels sprouts, using a mandoline, a very sharp knife, or the thinnest slicing blade on a food processor, very thinly slice the Brussels sprouts into fine shreds. Transfer to a serving bowl and, using your hands, fluff and separate the shreds. In a frying pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until brown and crisp and the fat renders, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon pieces to a paper towel, then sprinkle over the salad. Discard all but ¼ cup of the hot bacon fat. Re-warm over medium then whisk in the grainy mustard, cider vinegar, and honey until well combined. Drizzle over the shaved Brussels sprouts and apples and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Toss bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer onto one of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crunchy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the croutons are baking, cut bottoms off Brussels sprouts and discard. Cut Brussels sprouts in half, then slice each half into shreds. Toss shredded Brussels sprouts in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the second prepared baking sheet.
• Remove croutons from the oven. Place Brussels sprouts in the oven and roast until wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While Brussels sprouts are roasting, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Remove Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately transfer to the skillet with the bacon grease. Add croutons, blue cheese, and red wine vinegar and toss to coat.
• To serve, distribute salad into 4 serving bowls and top with crunchy bacon.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Trim Brussels sprouts. Using the slicing blade on a food processor or a knife, thinly slice sprouts. Transfer to a large bowl. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1/4 cup in pan., Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, honey and mustard. Cook and stir 1 minute. Add bacon and apples to Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with onion mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH PISTACHIOS AND WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Peel off and discard the darker outer leaves of the sprouts and trim any discolored areas from the stem ends. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise, then slice them crosswise very thinly-about 1/16 inch. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicer attachment, but the cuts will not be as clean.) Transfer to a large heatproof bowl, add the bacon, and set aside.
• Measure 1/4 cup of the reserved bacon fat into a small pan and warm over low heat until liquified (if you don't have enough bacon fat, make up the difference with olive oil). Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar, shallot, garlic, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Drizzle the dressing over the brussels sprouts and toss well. Taste and season with more salt as necessary.
• If you have time, let the salad sit out for 30 minutes or so before proceeding-in this time, the dressing helps the sprouts soften a bit.
• Just before serving, top with the toasted pistachios; if using the horseradish, use a microplane grater to shave a little over the top as well.
