Usually that occurs when I see amazing sweets or decadent desserts, like Mama Pea’s s’mores pie or The Pioneer Woman’s caramel apple sticky buns, but every once in a while a veggie dish catches my eye.
That happened earlier this week when I was catching up on blog posts through my Google Reader.
Jessica, queen of all things butter and bacon, actually had me drooling over Brussels sprouts. She posted a recipe for shredded sprouts salad that called for shredded Brussels sprouts, bacon and cheese. I knew I had to make it!
I loosely followed her recipe and enjoyed a delicious shredded Brussels sprouts salad for lunch this afternoon.
Brussels Sprouts Salad
Last night I roasted Brussels sprouts in the oven after tossing them in olive oil, garlic salt and pepper.
I then shredded the roasted sprouts in my food processor before topping them with Parmesan cheese and crumbled Morningstar Farms veggie bacon.

This salad was great! Unfortunately I ran out of Parmesan cheese as I was topping my salad. More Parm would’ve taken this salad to the next level!
Cheese + Bacon + Sprouts
Jessica, you are one smart cookie.
Back to work!

Oh gosh, don’t even get me STARTED on the love of Mama Pea’s recipes 😉 I have so many on my to-do list, haha!
This recipe looks amazing, and Jessica is one smart cookie. Brussel sprouts are amazing!
Hope you’re having a great Thursday Julie!
i know! mama pea is amazing. her daughters may be the cutest little girls on the planet.
Pretty sure they are, for sure 🙂
I really hope I can experiment and begin liking more veggies…right now my list consists of: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, peas, asparagus, spinach, romaine lettuce, artichokes
This looks really good! I’m just picky. 🙁
That salad looks great except for the bacon. I’m not a big bacon fan. Brussel sprouts are delish! I just tried them for the first time a few months ago! 🙂
Just what I was going to say!
I’ve favorited this recipe from Jessica’s blog too ! Can’t wait to make it 🙂 Brussel sprouts are my new fav,, can’t believe it took me so long to discover them !
Mmmm now I want it for dinner!

I’m DYING to know your honeymoon plans! Don’t tease us!

Haha okay, deal!
I loved that you subbed the veggie bacon for the real stuff- I’d never even thought to do that!! I always DROOL over Jessica’s recipes, but I’m not quite as much of a bacon lover as she is 🙂 Your way is a great veg-friendly option!!
I LOVE brussel sprouts…have to try this recipe.
Thank you
It’s been far too long since I’ve had brussel sprouts! In need to pick some up from the store soon.
i love her blog, she always has the best recipes! Your brussels sprout salad looks so so good! Parmesan cheese makes everything better!
OMG! I made the brussel sprouts salad too after seeing it on Jessica’s blog!! Genius 🙂
I am always reading blog posts thinking, “oh, I need to make that!” I have a pretty lengthy “recipes to try” list.
That salad looks pretty good!
Thanks for sharing this. I have been having trouble getting to Jessica’s website this week. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I definitely missed this one. I’ve been wanting to dive into making brussels sprouts myself but have been a bit nervous about it. This looks pretty easy and delicious! 🙂
Brussel sprouts are now on my grocery list! It has been far too long since I’ve had them! Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try this ever since I found a similar recipe on 101 Cookbooks. It looks so good!
I saw this on her blog and wanted to make it immediately. YUM!!
I love love love brussel sprouts and I am always looking for things to do with them. My Uncle makes a killer dish with brussel sprouts, soy sauce, and lemon juice
I love Brussels Sprouts! Neeeed to make this salad.
I think my favorite Thanksgiving dish is stuffing:)
I do not trust you on this one Lil’ J…brusselsprouts are the only veggie I don’t like…and beets.
