Ingredients

8 ounces Brussels Sprouts shaved, shredded, sliced etc
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large hard boiled egg diced
4 strips cooked bacon diced

Maple Dressing

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep the brussels sprouts. Wash, dry & remove the stem/core from each.
Thinly slice or shred in a food processor. Make sure to keep the slices similar in size so they cook evenly.
8 ounces Brussels Sprouts
Cook the bacon if needed (not using leftovers). Dice the hard boiled egg and the bacon.
In a large skillet heat the oil on medium-low heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, stir to coat.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cook over medium-low heat until they are tender and wilted - about 3-4 minutes. They should not be turning brown except for on a few edges.
To the pan add the diced leftover bacon, stir to combine. Continue heating everything so the bacon has a chance to warm up for 2 minutes.
4 strips cooked bacon
Once the Brussels sprouts are wilted and the bacon warm, turn off the heat. Spoon the mixture into individual bowls or to a large serving bowl or platter. Top with the diced egg.
In a small bowl whisk together the maple dressing ingredients. Add a pinch of salt and pepper - whisk again. Drizzle over the salad & toss to coat.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, salt & pepper
Serve immediately while warm & freshly dressed. Season to taste if needed.

Notes

STORING & REHEATING:
