Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
This light and tasty Brussels Sprouts salad is sure to please. The bacon bits, toasted almonds, and Parmesan cheese compliment the zesty homemade dressing perfectly.
Ingredients
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons Lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon minced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Salad Ingredients:
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled -- try this easy method)
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (thinly sliced; about 6 cups)
- 1 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese (preferably freshly shredded)
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds (toasted*)
Instructions
- In a mason jar, combine salad dressing ingredients and give them a good shake until well combined.
- In a large salad bowl, combine salad ingredients and toss.
- Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
Notes/Tips
- To Toast the Almonds: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the chopped almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 5-10 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, or until you start to smell them. Keep a close eye on them and take them out just when they are starting to turn golden and smell toasted.
- I often make a full batch of this salad and munch on it all week long. Just don't add the salad dressing until you are ready to eat!
- I later use the Brussels in our Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts or Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies.
