Brussel sprouts are a super food for your health, but not everyone loves the way they taste. So I set out to create some really tasty recipes using them. This is a tasty salad that is loaded with flavor! Even my kids request it. It is also really easy to throw together on a weeknight.

This side dish is too easy – and the best part is that it can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Delicious on the side of any meat or fish.

Ingredients

5.3 oz smoked, streaky bacon, chopped small (we use Butcher Box meat)
1 small banana shallot, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 TB balsamic vinegar
7 oz Brussels sprouts, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Have all your ingredients prepped, weighed, and ready.
Add the bacon, shallots, and garlic into a large, pan and cook over moderate heat until the onions and garlic have softened, and the bacon has cooked through safely.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan and mix well. It will disappear (evaporate) quickly, but it does a great job of deglazing the pan while adding a little acidity to the dish.
Increase the heat to high and add all the Brussels sprouts, stirring continuously until they soften, approx. 2-3 minutes.
Season with black pepper and more balsamic if desired (and salt, only if needed).
