This festive maple bacon brussels sprout salad is so delicious! It's a perfect side dish to bring to holiday meals that everyone will love.
Equipment
- Food processor (if shaving brussels sprouts)
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 lb brussels sprouts (whole or pre-shredded)
- 12 oz bacon
- 3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place bacon strips evenly across baking sheet.
- Bake the bacon for 12-15 minutes until it is crisp. Immediately move bacon from baking sheet to a plate lined with paper towels once it is done to remove excess grease and keep bacon crisp.
- Meanwhile, shave the brussels sprouts using a food processor with a shredder attachment. If using pre-shredded brussels sprouts, skip this step.
- Add shaved brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Add chopped apricots, toasted slivered almonds, and grated parmesan.
- To make the dressing, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper to a jar and shake to combine.
- Once the bacon is cooled, chop into small pieces and add to the salad.
- Dress the salad and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute.
