BRUSSEL SPROUT AND BACON SALAD.

Ever since I began going to a local restaurant here in SLC, Eva, a few years ago, I have become obsessed with brussel sprouts. Their brussel sprouts must have crack in them or something because I can't eat enough of them.

I found this recipe on Pinterest a couple of months ago, tried it once for myself and loved it. I decided to make it for our office girls night recently (it's a little summery but who cares when it's delicious). Even the ladies who aren't huge brussel sprout fans loved it and needed the recipe.

Bacon and Brussel Sprout Salad
By Lindsay: Pinch of Yum
Serves 8-10

You will need:
1 lemon
1 orange
1 large shallot, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
4 dozen brussel sprouts
1 cup almonds
1 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
Salt and pepper

Step 1: Cook and chop the bacon.
Step 2: Squeeze lemon and orange into a large bowl with the shallots. Pour olive oil into the bowl while whisking to form an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Shave the brussel sprouts into thin slices, creating a slaw texture.
Step 4: Chop almonds (I used a food processor) finely. Add 3/4 of the cup of almonds, the bacon, and the cheese to the brussel sprouts. Toss to combine.
Step 5: When ready to serve, toss the dressing and the remaining cheese, almonds, and bacon in with the brussel sprout mixture.
