Brussels Sprout Salad

Author Notes: My recipe is based on a Broccoli Salad recipe that my friend Louise gave me. Chances are, you've probably had that Broccoli Salad at a summer barbecue. I decided to tweak it a bit, and make it Fall-appropriate. It'd be nice next to some Thanksgiving roast turkey. Or even the next day, on a turkey sandwich. The dressing is so good, you'll want to eat it by the spoonful. Careful there. I like my salads lightly dressed, so if you think yours is a bit on the dry side, just double the recipe for the dressing. - mrslarkin
Serves 6 - 8
Dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salad
- 2 10 oz. tubs Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped crisp bacon
- For the dressing, whisk together the mayo, sugar and vinegar, and set aside. The sugar will disolve while you are preparing the salad.
- With a food processor fitted with the slicing disk, slice the Brussels sprouts. Transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, cranberries, pecans and bacon. Toss. Add dressing. Mix well and chill 2 - 5 hours, or serve immediately.

I really love brussel sprouts..looks like I want some now....what else do you see in place of Bacon...to give that crunch or taste..

Instead of bacon, I would go for something savory, salty, crunchy, like crisped parmigiano frico. Sprinkle over the salad at the end to retain the crunch!
For frico, finely grate parmigiano, sprinkle into circles on parchment paper and bake at 350 until crispy.

Would like to try this tomorrow night. I love sauteing (sp?) brussels sprouts with bacon. Should I warm the brussels sprouts up first before dressing?

Hi, Tbird! I leave the Brussels sprouts raw. I love the crunch! But the dressed sprouts do get softer the longer you let it sit. Let me know if you try it!

This is DELICIOUS. So tangy. I only used half the amount of brussels sprouts - maybe I just like a salad heavy on the "extras" :)

That's so great to hear!! Nothing wrong with extras - especially if it involves bacon!!

Thanks! I hope you like it Rhonda! You can also substitute 1/4 cup maple syrup for the sugar, which gives it an extra Autumn-y taste.

This is a terrific fall reinterpretation. I think I'll like it better than the broccoli version - the sprouts will add that little certain something. Great one!
