No, you haven’t come to the wrong place I am indeed posting a recipe with bacon. I have seen the light! The light came while waiting for an early morning flight to Minneapolis. Yes, my first pieces of bacon were eaten airport-style. And it was amazing.

Let’s back up a bit. 

Bacon and Brussels Sprout Caesar Slaw - #lunch ready in 10 minutes! // thehealthymaven.comI knew this day would come. Bacon had snuck its way into some of my meals and to be honest, I didn’t hate it. I quickly discovered that it wasn’t the taste that I didn’t like but it was the smell of cooking it. This revelation led to a week of extreme bacon consumption. I went from someone who had never ordered bacon in their life to ordering it 3 times in one week! Pandora’s box had been opened…

Remember last month when I posted that Honey Mustard Veggie Frittata using Nature’s Palate Honey Mustard Glaze? I am absolutely obsessed with their Honey Mustard Glaze, but they actually have two other products! One of them is a Paleo Bacon Caesar Dressing. At first I was a little anxious because of my bacon issues, but clearly this problem has been solved and I’m now drenching my salads in this dressing!

Bacon and Brussels Sprout Caesar Slaw - #lunch ready in 10 minutes! // thehealthymaven.com #recipeJust like their Honey Mustard Glaze, their Bacon Caesar Dressing is made from whole, REAL ingredients. No preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Olive Oil, Water, Pasteurized Egg Yolks, Red Wine Vinegar, Anchovy Fillets, Honey, Garlic, Pure Lemon Juice Concentrate, Bacon, Black pepper, Sea Salt, Dijon Mustard, Mustard Seeds, Cayenne.

Tell me you don’t know every single one of these ingredients! Products like this make me smile 🙂

Bacon and Brussels Sprout Caesar Slaw - #lunch ready in 10 minutes! // thehealthymaven.com #recipeAs part of my partnership with NP, I am creating recipes using their awesome glazes and dressings. The premise behind NP is to help people make quick meals from real ingredients. I decided to stick with this mentality when creating recipes for them. The Honey Mustard Veggie Frittata made a filling and delicious breakfast in under 30 minutes. I wanted to do the same for lunch, which is how this Bacon and Brussels Sprout Caesar Slaw was born.

I even sucked up my dislike of bacon grease smell for it! And despite smelling like a greasy diner for the next 3 days, it was absolutely worth it.

  1. I don’t love bacon, but I don’t like red meat or pork. Some people don’t like fish. I don’t like meat.

  2. I used to hate beets. And goat cheese. And meat. And believe it or not… MUSTARD. But I’ve seen the light and boy, is it bright.

  3. Woohoo I’m glad you’ve seen the bacon light! 😉

    I used to hate fish in my teens until I realized how flipping delicious maple glazed salmon is haha.

  4. I love products with real ingredients! It just makes everything better. I love this slaw! I’m not a huge fan of bacon. I eat it but if I had to give it up I could and I probably wouldn’t really miss it (unlike this insanity of no coffee/no wine)!

  5. I actually love the idea of bacon, then I have one piece and I’m pretty much done. Bacon cooking doesn’t bother me so much, especially if it’s maple bacon, which smells like brunch-y heaven.

  6. This looks so yummy and easy!! I need to try these Nature Palate products. Caesar is my FAVE but with my dairy restrictions I usually can’t make it work. xo

    1. help me find a way to get them across airport security and I’ll get you a whole box for November! LY x

  7. Brussels and bacon are a match made it heaven! It’s my fav filling in an omelette! Try adding some dried cranberries… Tastes so good!

  8. I recently realized I like oysters and mussels, of all things. I guess my “hate” for them was based on nothing before because I’d never tried them, but I’m all about the texture of things and I could not handle even looking at an oyster. One thing that will never change though is my hate for mushrooms. I try them every year just in case, and every year I can’t handle them.

    This recipe looks great! The dressing sounds delicious.

    1. So funny cause I used to LOVE oysters and mussels but ever since having a bad oyster experience I cannot for the life of me get myself to eat them again! As for mushrooms, I eat enough for the both of us 😉
