Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Thinly slice each Brussels sprout, discarding the tough cores. Transfer the delicate shreds to a large bowl. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Render the Bacon: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon lardons and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Emulsify the Dressing: Stir in the cider vinegar, lemon juice, and brown sugar to the skillet with the bacon. Season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Increase the heat to high and let the mixture bubble for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld into a cohesive dressing. (Cook time: 1 minute)

04

Step

Combine and Season: Pour the hot bacon dressing over the shredded Brussels sprouts. Toss thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated in the savory goodness. Season to taste with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the amount of brown sugar to your liking.
The Brussels sprouts can be shredded in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Serve immediately for the best crunch, or allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes before serving.
