#1,647: Bacon and Brussels Sprout Salad


I made this recipe for a recent family gathering, and it went over very well.  I personally loved it!!  I would definitely (and will definitely) make this again...it was SO good. It was really simple to make too, and would be a great quick paleo breakfast or lunch. 

For the dressing:
juice of one lemon
juice of one orange
2-3 tablespoons apple cider juice (not vinegar)
1 shallot, minced
½ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

For the salad:
4 dozen brussels sprouts, shredded
1 cup sliced almonds
12 slices cooked bacon, crumbled or chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 

Combine the lemon juice, orange juice, apple cider, and shallots in a small bowl. Add the olive oil in a steady stream and whisk for a minute or two, until it becomes creamy-looking.

Thinly slice the brussels sprouts with a mandoline or in  your food processor.  

Toss the brussels sprouts, almonds, bacon, cheese, and dressing together. Serve immediately or within a few hours of tossing.
