Bacon and Brussel Sprout Salad with Poppyseed Vinaigrette

Ok, I’m admittedly not a salad person!

Perhaps I shouldn’t lead off with that line, but it’s the truth! If I got to a restaurant, there’s a 99% chance that I am not ordering a salad.

That being said, this Brussel sprout and bacon salad is LEGIT.

Like, really, really good.

Good enough that I might just order it at a restaurant. Well, if they’re serving it with this poppyseed dressing then it’s a sure thing! I loooovveee poppyseed dressing and this one is both easy and delicious!

I think I like this salad because it’s such an interesting mix of flavors and textures. You’ve got crisp Brussel sprout leaves, savory bacon pieces (bite-sized of course because who wants to rip up bacon when you’re trying to eat a salad!), tangy cranberries, and sweet poppyseed vinaigrette. Ohhh, the dressing…heavenly!

Did I mention that it’s all SO easy to make? You can literally make this easy Brussel sprout and bacon salad in like 5 minutes. For real! Just a few minutes!

This Bacon and Brussels Sprout Salad with Poppyseed Vinaigrette is delicious and healthy! Plus, you can use the Poppyseed Vinaigrette on anything!

How to Make Shaved Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Salad

Separate the Brussels sprouts into individual leaves and rinse well. They should come apart pretty quickly – they don’t have to be perfect looking.

Add the Brussels sprouts, cranberries, pecans, feta cheese (if using), and bacon to a large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, in a separate smaller bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Give it a quick taste and adjust if needed to your own liking. I like my dressing a tad on the sweeter side.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Best enjoyed immediately.
