Ingredients

  • 3 oz kale massaged and chopped
  • 3 oz Brussels sprouts shaved
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes halved
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Bacon Vinaigrette

  • 4-5 strips bacon
  • 1 tbsp bacon grease
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients - massage and chop kale, use food processor to shave Brussels sprouts (or chop into thin strips), and wash and half the grapes.
  • Heat skillet on medium heat, then add strips of bacon. Sear bacon on both sides until cooked and slightly crispy. This will take at least a few minutes.
  • Remove bacon from heat and chop into small pieces.
  • Discard almost all the bacon grease and leave about 1 tablespoon behind on the skillet.
  • Add the rest of the 'bacon vinaigrette' ingredients to skillet, including chopped bacon.
  • Bring to a boil, and then lower to medium low heat and let vinaigrette simmer for a minute or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Bring Brussels sprouts, kale, grapes and almonds to a big bowl, then add bacon vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
  • Serve and enjoy!
