Steps
- Bring 1/2 cup water to a rolling boil, add bulgur, remove from heat, cover and let soak at least 15 minutes.
- Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towel lined plate and discard all but 1 tbsp. fat from pan.
- Return pan to stove and increase heat to high. Toss in shredded sprouts and cook, stirring frequently until just starting to wilt, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add dressing and vinegar.
- Add cooked bulgur, cheese, diced apple, cooked bacon, a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss well.
Or, Try This
- If you're making a vegetarian version or using turkey bacon/bacon bits, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet before adding the Brussels sprouts.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds for the bacon.
