Ingredients

Salad:

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, shaved
  • 6 slices bacon
  • ½ cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped (or another nut you prefer)
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Roasted Shallot Pomegranate Dressing:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 medium-sized shallot, roasted
  • 2 cloves garlic, roasted
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Add bacon, shallots, and garlic to a sheet pan. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the shallots and garlic.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, checking the bacon at 15 minutes and then every few minutes after to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  • Remove the bacon from the oven when it is cooked to your preference, but continue to roast the shallots and garlic for the full 30 minutes. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Once the shallots and garlic have roasted, add them to a food processor with the rest of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper) and process until smooth.
  • Add all of the salad ingredients (shaved Brussels sprouts, chopped hazelnuts, pomegranate arils, pumpkin seeds, golden raisins, and chopped bacon) to a serving bowl and toss with the dressing.
  • ENJOY!

Notes

This salad is great for making ahead of time. Simply prep and toss all your salad ingredients together. When ready to serve, add the shallot dressing over the top. The dressing will save for up to three days in the fridge. Shake well before use.
