Makes: 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- About 20 brussels sprouts
- 5 slices bacon, crumbled
- Caesar dressing (recipe below)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup panko
- Salt and pepper
Caesar Dressing
- 4 anchovy fillets, optional
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 1½ Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1½ Tbsp water
- ¼-½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Slice brussels sprouts finely. I recommend using the shredding blade on your food processor. Place shredded brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
- Add crumbled bacon and caesar dressing to bowl and toss well.
- In a medium-sized nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and add panko. Cook panko, stirring, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve brussels sprouts in individual bowls and sprinkle toasted panko over the top.
Caesar Dressing
- Place anchovies (if using), garlic, egg yolk, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and water in a blender and process for about 30-40 seconds, until mixture is smooth.
- With the blender still running, pour extra virgin olive oil in slowly, starting with ¼ cup. Continue adding oil until you reach your desired consistency, using up to ½ cup of the oil.
- Remove dressing to bowl. Stir in the parmesan cheese and ground pepper.
