- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and shaved, or thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- ½ cup White Cheddar Cheese shredded

- Cook the bacon. Cut the bacon into ½-inch pieces. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat then add bacon and fry until crisp. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in skillet.
- Cook the brussels sprouts. Add the shredded brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are a little bit tender and start to char a bit.
- Make the dressing. In a bowl whisk the apple cider, olive oil and brown sugar together.
- Make the salad. In a larger bowl add the cooked brussels sprouts, bacon, cheese, pecans and dressing. Toss well and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

Notes
- Make this salad your own by adding other favorite ingredients such as raisins, dried cranberries, apples, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, etc.
- You can shred the brussels sprouts a couple days in advance, they will hold nicely in the refrigerator, stored in a ziploc bag or airtight container.
- The dressing will last in the fridge for about 4 days, so if you're making this salad ahead, don't add the dressing until ready to serve.
- If prepping ahead, the individual ingredients can be stored in the fridge for 2 to 4 days, if stored properly. Any leftover tossed brussels sprouts salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
