A warm Brussels sprout salad that is both sweet and savory!
I know some people are big haters of Brussels sprouts, but I love them SO much. Brussels sprouts and peas are my two favorite vegetables. Love my greens! Since the Brussels sprout fan base isn’t to where it should be (in my opinion), we’re going to remedy that.
You add bacon!
In this case, we’re adding fancy bacon…proscuitto. However, you can totally use whatever bacon you’d like…even veggie bacon. With the addition of the sweet balsamic vinegar, crunch of pecans and pops of dried cherries, you’ve got a flavor combination in every bite fit for a king!
And who knew that it wasn’t brussel sprouts?!? I just found out while writing this post. I always thought it was a brussel sprout, not a Brussels sprout. My mind is blown. I obviously need more Brussels sprouts in my life. My brain needs a little boost.
Seriously.
Warm Brussels Sprout Salad
Ingredients
- 5-6 ounces prosciutto, chopped
- 20 ounces chopped Brussels sprouts (I used Trader Joe’s pre-chopped bags)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
How-To
- In a large pan, sauté the prosciutto on medium heat until it starts to get crispy (about 10 minutes).
- Add in the brussel spouts, olive oil, vinegar and pepper, sautéing until the brussel sprouts have wilted (about 5 minutes).
- Add in the cherries and pecans and serve warm.
Servings: 4 cups
Sounds delish! I’ll have to add those Brussels sprouts to my Trader Joe’s Shopping List with a link to your recipe! http://www.ornabakes.com/shopping-lists/trader-joes/

Looove Brussels sprouts! This salad looks like a perfect lunch, Caroline!
Yum! I just had brussels sprouts for dinner last night! I’ll be making this for sure!
I adore brussels sprouts as well! They are such a love/hate food. This salad looks delish and a great change up from my other favorite of roasted sprouts!
This looks so flavorful! I love brussel sprout salads and this one looks like it hits the spot.
Another great one! My husband loves brussels sprouts. I’m always looking for new ways to prepare them!
I love the combination of ingredients in your salad. This is a meal I can dig into.
