Easy Brussels Sprouts Salad

  4.0 – 1 reviews  

My spouse hadn’t eaten any of the fresh plums I had on hand, so I created this delectable dessert. Delicious and easy! This may be used with different stone fruits like nectarines or peaches, and I bet it would be tasty in the fall with apples or pears as well! It tastes great when served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  1. 3 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  2. 4 slices bacon
  3. 1 cup raisins
  4. 1 cup coleslaw dressing

Instructions

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and pat Brussels sprouts dry.
  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
  3. Add Brussels sprouts to bacon grease in the skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until coated, about 1 minute. Remove Brussels sprouts to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Chop cooled bacon and combine with Brussels sprouts and raisins in a bowl. Pour coleslaw dressing on top and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to meld.
  5. You can use dried cranberries instead of raisins.

Quite tasty, for how few ingredients it has! I’m thinking there is an error in the recipe, because 1 cup each of the raisins and dressing is WAY too much. The sprouts would be swimming in dressing. Thankfully I had decided to use half the amounts and that was plenty. If I had to guess, the quantity of Brussels sprouts should be doubled, which would be more in line with the 8 servings. As it stands, this only makes about 4 servings. I recommend adding in the bacon right before serving to keep it crisp, unless soggy bacon doesn’t bother you. I steamed the sprouts for 6 minutes since they were smaller in size and that was just right.
