Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad with Bacon
Make an easy shaved Brussel sprouts salad with bacon and a homemade apple cider vinaigrette with a touch of Dijon. The perfect raw Brussel sprouts salad for the holidays! Low carb, keto, and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 bag shaved brussel sprouts 10 oz
- 2 oz blue cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup chopped roasted pecans
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon golden monk fruit or erythritol
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sweetener, garlic clove, and dijon mustard. Set it aside. We use monk fruit for no sugar/low carb, but you can use brown sugar or honey if you prefer.
- If you didn't buy already shaved Brussel sprouts, shave the Brussels sprouts by finely hand slicing or using a food processor.
- In a salad bowl combine the shaved Brussels sprouts, crumbled bacon, crumbled blue cheese, and roasted pecan halves.
- When you're ready to serve the shaved Brussel sprouts salad, add the dressing to taste. Garnish with more pecans and blue cheese on top. Enjoy!
Notes
If you want a recipe for cooking bacon, our favorite ways to cook it are in an air fryer for a small amount or in the oven for an entire pack. Skip this step if you have your own bacon recipe.
It's easy to adapt this recipe to your personal preferences. Don't like blue cheese? Use shredded parmesan, crumbled feta, or a cubed white cheese like brie, Havarti, or white cheddar. It's also simple to use a different variety of low carb nuts like walnuts or sunflower seeds.
For best consistency buy pecan halves or whole roasted pecans and then cut them into small pieces, if you purchase ground nuts they'll be a finer consistency than is ideal for a salad.
