Keto Brussel Sprout Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
A keto brussel sprout recipe with bacon that doesn't require an oven. These keto brussel sprouts are only 3.5 net carbs, dairy free, gluten free, and low carb.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound brussel sprouts
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar free maple syrup [I use this]
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar substitute [I use this]
- 4 pieces bacon
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the brussel sprouts. Slice off the woody end and discard. Cut the brussel sprout in half lengthwise. Lay the flat side of the sprout face down and then slice lengthwise into thin strips. Repeat with all of the sprouts. Alternatively, shred the brussel sprouts on a wide grater.
- Cut the raw bacon into small pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon pieces until crisp.
- Transfer the bacon pieces to the bowl of sprouts. Reserve the bacon grease and pour into a mason jar.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the mason jar. Tighten the lid and shake vigourously until the dressing has emulsified and smooth. You an also do this in a food processor if desired.
- Pour the dressing over the sprouts when ready to eat. Toss to coat.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra bacon, if desired.
Notes
Avocado oil may be subsituted for the evoo. Bacon may be cooked in the microwave to truly skip the frying pan but be sure to collect the grease for the dressing.
