Is there a more perfect pairing than bacon and Brussels sprouts?! I don’t think so! I had a similar salad at a restaurant in Chicago a few weeks back and couldn’t stop thinking about it! Well, now that I have made it myself, I still cannot stop! haha. I have made this a few times already. It is SO good! I think one of the keys to making it so delicious (And for any Brussels sprout salad) is to slice the sprouts yourself. You definitely can buy them sliced, but I prefer them super thinly sliced. I use this super handy and easy to use mandoline from OXO. It is adjustable and fits so easily in a drawer. I have a larger mandoline I never get out. This one is so much easier!

Here is what you will need:

• Brussels Sprouts – I bought an 8 oz bag. I prefer to slice my own.
• Bacon – Center cut. It is the leanest cut of bacon.
• Parmesan Cheese – Freshly Grated
• Avocado
• Sliced Toasted Almonds
• Peas – Frozen will do!
