BRUSSELS SPROUT & KALE SALAD

September 25, 2013

Bacon meets veggies. Maybe this is one step closer to satisfying the meat-loving man + vegetarian/health nut woman couples archetype in the world. (That doesn’t much describe me, but I still dig this salad.)

    I like your recipes. Everyone here is all of a sudden interested in Kale so will give this a try and some of your others like the one with the pomegranate and the other with the mango’s….diane again

    Use this recipe but exclude the lemon and orange juice and the mustard and cheese and eat it warm. Sauté everything in the olive oil and bacon grease. This is wonderful tasting. Just this girls opinion and taste buds. <3

  • Destiny

    Is this salad best eaten right away or should it / can it sit for a while and still be awesome?

    • Rachel Schultz

      Either!

    Dear Rachel,

    first of all: great website, love it! You trully inspired my to plan my meals ahead.

    Do I get it right, you don´t cook the kale and brussel sprouts at all? Never tried them raw, how do they taste?

  • melissa

    • Rachel Schultz

      Traditional romaine would be fine.

    How much bacon yields a cup and a half? Any ideas?
