Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: Shred the Brussels sprouts and make the dressing up to 1 week ahead of time. Cook the bacon and chop the apples several hours before and mix a little lemon juice over the apples to keep them from browning. This way you can just grab and toss everything together really quickly.
- Add Protein: Make it a complete meal and add grilled chicken, air fryer chicken tenders, air fryer tofu, or your favorite protein!
- Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad: Use a mandoline or food processor to shave the Brussels sprouts.
- Kale and Brussel Sprouts Salad: Substitute some of the brussels sprouts for fresh chopped kale.
