Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and thinly sliced
- 4 lices Bacon cooked and chopped*
- 1 pear chopped, ripe, Bosc variety
- 2/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
For the Maple-Candied Pecans:
- ½ cup pecans raw
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
For the Warm Maple-Bacon Dressing:
- ¼ cup bacon drippings liquid form
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1 teaspoon, pure
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Warm Maple-Bacon Dressing:
- Cook the bacon on a skillet over medium heat until it reaches desired done-ness (I like mine crispy).
- Place the strips of bacon on a cutting board, chop, and set aside.
- Pour the bacon fat into a measuring cup. Reserve ¼ cup of the fat, and discard any remaining.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the measuring cup and whisk well until combined (for a creamy consistency, add everything to small blender and blend until smooth). Set aside until ready to use.
Prepare the Candied Pecans:
- Add all of the ingredients for the candied pecans to a small skillet and heat over medium for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring consistently, until the nuts have become toasted and sticky. Note: don’t walk away from the nuts because they burn easily.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts Chopped Salad:
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts well. Chop off the rough end, and thinly slice them from tip to tail.
- Add all ingredients for the salad to a large serving bowl. Pour desired amount of maple-bacon dressing over the salad, and toss well until everything is coated.
- Serve with your favorite entrée and enjoy!
Notes
- *Reserve the bacon drippings for the dressing
