Brussels Sprouts Salad

6-8 slices bacon
2 12 oz bags whole Brussels sprouts
1½ cups parmesan cheese, shaved
croutons, optional for extra crunch

Instructions

Caesar Dressing

Mix all of the dressing ingredients together. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.

Cook the bacon.

Place bacon strips onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Add them to a cold oven and turn the heat to 425° oven. Cook until the bacon reaches the desired level of crispiness. Cut or crumble into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Shave the sprouts.

Using a mandolin or a sharp chef's knife, CAREFULLY, slice the Brussels sprouts into to very thin shavings.

Build the salad.

Add the shaved Brussels sprouts, bacon, parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing to a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine. Top with optional croutons.

Garnish and enjoy!

Add a little more cheese, fresh ground pepper, and fresh chives. Enjoy!
