Ingredients

10 oz shredded brussels sprouts about 3-4 cups
5 slices bacon
¾ cup green peas
1 avocado cubed
¼ cup sliced almonds
⅓ cup shaved Manchego cheese
1 shallot
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1.5 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

Chop the raw bacon into one inch pieces and finely mince the shallot.
Cook bacon over medium-low heat in a high rimmed skillet until brown and crispy. Turn the heat down to low and use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the pan and add to a large mixing bowl. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
Add the minced shallots to the bacon grease and cook on low until translucent.
Use a spoon to scoop out the shallots along with about a tablespoon of the bacon grease into a small, heat-safe bowl.
Whisk olive oil, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar and honey into the shallots and bacon grease to make the dressing.
Add shaved Brussels sprouts, green peas, almonds, cheese and cubed avocado to the bowl with the cooked bacon.
Toss ingredients with all of the dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a vegetable peeler to shave off big shards of Manchego cheese.

Whole Brussels sprouts can be shredded in the food processor using the slicing disc. Be sure to trim off tough ends first.
