a peek inside the fishbowl

The answer is yes, in case you were wondering.

I made this salad for lunch yesterday and it turned out really well. BEHOLD:

If you grew up in the era of soggy, mushy, overcooked Brussels sprouts this might be the recipe that changes your life forever.

Here’s the original recipe. Clearly, the trick to avoiding overcooked Brussels sprouts is by not cooking them at all. HA.

I followed all of the directions in the recipe but added bacon on top (because, hello, BACON), used green onions instead of shallots, and added a dollop of honey to the dressing. That’s it!

Also, it is truly a good idea to let this dish rest at room temperature for awhile before serving. The flavours come together and the shaved Brussels sprouts soften in the lemony dressing. Let me know if you try this recipe!
