Ingredients
For the Salad
- 4 cups finely chopped raw Brussels sprouts
- 4-5 slices cooked crispy bacon (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup shredded Toscana pepper cheese or Parmesan/white cheddar
- 1/3 cup candied nuts pecans or walnuts work great!
For the Creamy Lemon Maple Dijon Balsamic

- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- To prep your brussel sprouts trim the ends, remove any wilted outer leaves, and slice thinly with a sharp knife or mandoline. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor until finely shredded.(Store bought works great too)
- Cook the bacon until crispy (pan-fry, bake, or air fry), then let it cool before crumbling into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the Toscana pepper cheese or your cheese of choice
- For the candied nuts, use store-bought or make your own by toasting nuts in a pan with a little sugar and butter until caramelized. Let them cool completely before chopping if needed.
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Whisk or shake until creamy and smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, toss the shredded Brussels sprouts, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and candied nuts.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well to evenly coat the ingredients & enjoy!! xx
