Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine shaved Brussels sprouts, bacon, cheese and crushed croutons. Set aside.
    A glass bowl filled with chopped bacon, croutons, and shredded cheese sits on a marble surface. A wooden fork and spoon are in the background.

Notes

*You can purchase Brussels sprouts already shaved, but if you buy whole Brussels sprouts, it's super easy to shred them in a food processor using the slicing blade. Alternatively, you can do this by hand using the slicing side of a box grater. 
**If you are allergic to anchovies, you can leave these out of the recipe, but be sure to add salt (to taste). Anchovies have a high salt content, which is why I left salt out of the dressing ingredients. If you think you won't like the taste, don't worry - you can't even tell they're in there. They just give this dressing the essential umami, salty flavoring.
