Description

This warm, sweet and savory salad is my soulmate.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces, weight (about 4 Strips) Bacon, Chopped
  • 24 ounces, weight (about 4-5 Cups) Brussels Sprouts, Stems Removed, Halved And Leaves Picked Off (you Can Cut The Cores Into Quarters Or Leave Them Out)
  • 1  Small Shallot, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • Salt And Peppper To Taste
  • ½ cups Blueberries
  • 4 ounces, weight Goat Cheese Crumbled

Preparation

Heat a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook until just crispy, about 5 minutes.

Add Brussels sprouts, minced shallot and garlic; toss. Saute until Brussels sprouts leaves begin to wilt, about 3-4 minutes.

Add balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste; toss to combine. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Add blueberries and goat cheese; toss lightly to combine. Serve warm.

Note: If you want to make the salad without bacon, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (instead of adding bacon), then proceed as directed.

This looks delicious! I love brussels sprouts and am always looking for new ways to cook them. One question before I proceed, though…Do you pick all the leaves off the sprouts or just chop them up into quarters and pick off the outer layers? Thanks!
