Harvest Brussel Sprout Salad 1b

 Let’s talk brussels sprouts, shall we? Are you a lover or a hater?? Brussel sprouts are one of those things people are rarely neutral about. It seems you either love them any way and all ways…..or you won’t touch them with a 10 foot pole! I, for one, am a lover.

Harvest Brussel Sprout Salad with bacon, blue cheese, red onions & pecans

To be honest, I’m a lover of nearly all vegetables! Give me broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, asparagus, green beans, carrots……and we’re in business. I love them raw, steamed, sauteed, and most of all, roasted. There is something about the roasting process that brings out such delicious flavors……and the olive oil and sea salt don’t hurt, either!

When I really think about it, there are only two vegetables I’ve never learned to love: lima beans and peas. Yuck to both! I’m not sure if it’s a flavor thing or a texture thing….but whatever it is, I am definitely NOT a lover. And, at this point, I’m not even sure I’m willing to give them another try!

But brussels sprouts…..brussel sprouts are a different story. I’ve actually loved them since the first time I tried them – steamed – with a little salt and pepper. And up until now, that’s the only way I’ve ever eaten them! I thought it might be time to freshen things up and incorporate these delicious little bundles into a fall salad. So I roasted them in olive oil, mixed them with bacon, Gorgonzola cheese, and pecans, and tossed them in a lemon-sage vinaigrette. Whether  you’re a brussel sprout lover or a proclaimed hater, this salad is most definitely worth a try. You can’t go wrong with bacon and cheese…..am I right??

    That’s so funny, my daughter HATES peas! They seem so mild to me. I’ll let her get away it because she does love Brussels sprouts, so it totally evens out! I love this salad Cathy! There are so many flavors and textures in here, it’s just wonderful.

    Love everything about this! I didn’t use to enjoy brussels but then I finally retried them in adult life a few years ago and fell in love.
