#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.
