Ingredients
Vinaigrette
- 1 small shallot (finely minced (about 2 tbsp))
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Salad
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 5 strips applewood smoked bacon (chopped)
- 1 Fuji apple (1/2 sliced & the rest roughly chopped)
- 1/4 cup goat cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup pecans (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add Brussels sprouts, pinch of kosher salt, and cover with water. Allow Brussels to soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse Brussels sprouts and pull off any loose/damaged outer leaves. Using a mandoline with guard or cutting glove, carefully slice sprouts into thin pieces. Place in a large bowl, breaking up the circular pieces with your hands as you go.
- In a small bowl whisk together vinaigrette ingredients: minced shallot, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, kosher salt & pepper. Once mixed, pour over the shaved Brussels sprouts, toss using tongs until fully coated, then cover and let it marinate for 20 minutes (do not skip marinating step).
- While the Brussels marinate, cook the bacon. Slice bacon and cook in a cast iron skillet until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Place on a plate with paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Remove the marinated Brussels sprouts and add the bacon, goat cheese, diced apple, and pecans. Toss to combine and serve.
