Description

This creative raw Brussels sprouts with bacon dressing salad has a great contrast between the raw, crunchy vegetable and the rich, smoky bacon dressing.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 ounces bacon, sliced
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Slice each Brussels sprout in half and cut each half into strips; discard cores. Transfer to a large bowl.
2 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook and stir until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar, lemon juice, and brown sugar; season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Increase heat to high; boil 1 minute.
3 Pour hot bacon mixture over Brussels sprouts; toss until completely coated. Season with salt and black pepper.
