Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 pound shaved or finely sliced Brussels sprouts
  • 1 large shallot, sliced
  • 4 slices for thick cut bacon, cut up
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan

Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

  • 1/4-1/3 cup Maple Dijon Vinaigrette (recipe below)
    • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or use the bacon drippings plus enough olive oil to make 1/4 cup
    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

Make The Vinaigrette

  1. To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon, and maple syrup.
  2. Drizzle in olive oil and whisk until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside

Grill The Salad

  1. Preheat the Big Green Egg to 425-450F with a 10-10.5” cast iron pan on the grate.
  2. When hot, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan, leaving the bacon drippings.
  3. Add in the shallots and Brussels sprouts, stirring to coat & cook for 8-12 minutes or until softened and some parts are caramelized. Stir often to prevent sticking.

Assemble The Salad

  1. Remove from the heat and add in the pecans, cranberries, & bacon. Stir to combine. Add the grated cheese, and stir to mix in.
  2. Drizzle over the vinaigrette and stir. Serve warm.
