For a vegetarian option, skip the bacon and use a tablespoon of olive oil or butter to sauté the Brussels sprouts in the skillet. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Gorgonzola or feta would also be delicious. To add some sweetness, consider including dried cranberries or golden raisins in the salad. For a nuttier flavor, toast some chopped pecans or walnuts and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepToss bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer onto one of the prepared baking sheets. (5 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until golden and crunchy, 15 to 20 minutes.
04
StepWhile the croutons are baking, trim the bottoms off Brussels sprouts and discard. Cut Brussels sprouts in half, then thinly slice each half into shreds. (10 minutes)
05
StepToss shredded Brussels sprouts in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the second prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)
06
StepRemove croutons from the oven. Place Brussels sprouts in the oven and roast until tender-crisp and slightly wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
07
StepWhile Brussels sprouts are roasting, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet. (10 minutes)
08
StepOnce the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
09
StepRemove Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately transfer them to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Add the croutons, crumbled blue cheese, and red wine vinegar, then toss gently to combine all ingredients. (5 minutes)
10
StepTo serve, divide the salad among 4 serving bowls and garnish each with the crispy bacon crumbles. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
