Ingredients

for the dressing:

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Once it's cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon but save the grease. Place bacon in a bowl and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet, then cook the brussels sprouts in the skillet over medium-high heat until they're browned to your liking. Add bacon back into the skillet, then sprinkle parmesan over top and set aside.
  • Next, make the dressing. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until browned, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn it! You want it to be a golden brown color. Pour butter into a bowl, then add the balsamic; stir to combine, then drizzle HALF of it over top of the brussels sprouts mixture.
  • Place arugula onto a plate, then pour the brussels sprouts mixture over top. Drizzle the whole salad with a little more of the brown butter, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. It's ok if you have leftover brown butter -- save it for another recipe!
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation 
-You can buy pre-shredded brussels sprouts, or throw them into your food processor to quickly shred them. 
-Start by using a small amount of brown butter then adding more as needed; you can always add more, but you can't take it off!
