I was craving a savory salad, but not in the mood for anything cold, I wanted warm.
My grandma used to make a warm bacon salad, I think she just drizzled the hot bacon grease straight on the greens, I wish I would've paid more attention. Grandma was the queen of bacon grease, her fried eggs were out of this world.
I didn't have any spinach and needed a good dose of cruciferous veggies for the day so I shredded up some brussels sprouts and used that as the base of my salad.
I had some micro greens, which are loaded with nutrients so I threw some of those on, sauteed some onion in some of the bacon grease, chopped some tomatoes and chives and then heated up some leftover chicken that I had in the fridge while I had some bacon cooking in the oven.
Whipped up the dressing and we were ready to go! I adapted the dressing recipe to fit my dietary needs from Jenn's recipe over at Once Upon a Chef, you can check out the original recipe here. This is seriously one of the easiest ways to enjoy brussels sprouts, so yummy.
