Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe

Brussels sprouts, bacon, apple and hazelnuts is a magic mixture that makes this Brussel Sprout Salad that so good, you’ll be comfortable to have it as a meal! The truth is, I’m sharing this recipe on the request of a brussels-sprout-hating pal after I served this at a lunch!!

However I’m getting forward of myself. 🙂 So one of many salads I made was this Brussels Sprout Salad. It’s a private favorite of mine, however I nonetheless didn’t count on it to go down in addition to it did. A lot that once I requested my pal Rach which (if any) of the salads I made had been price sharing with my readers, she stated this Brussels Sprouts Salad, palms down, regardless that she’s not a fan of Brussels Sprouts!!!

So right here it’s. 🙂

The rationale this salad is so darn good is the elements within the salad itself. My mates and I all the time say that an awesome salad comes right down to the dressing. However this is without doubt one of the uncommon exceptions.

The mixture of shaved brussels sprouts (which actually tones down the flavour of brussels sprouts), the recent candy juicy apple, heat crunch from hazelnuts and the salty pops of bacon is a successful mixture. It’s so good that I maintain the dressing quite simple – it simply wants a lightweight coat of moisture, it doesn’t want tons of flavour.

There are tons of flavours happening on this salad however they’re balanced properly so that is not a heavy salad. It’s recent but has loads of flavour. It’s mild sufficient to serve on the facet of heavier meals, but additionally good with white meats and seafood.

Common readers know that I’m all about meals with flavours that packs a punch. In the case of salads, I’ve a very excessive bar, solely sharing the most effective of the most effective.
