Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer to shave the Brussels sprouts for best results.
- Don't cut the apple until right before serving to make sure it stays bright and crisp.
- If there is a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters at your table, replace the bacon fat in the dressing with a neutral oil (such as vegetable oil) and serve the bacon on the side so everyone can enjoy the salad.
