Ingredients

Dressing

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Salad

16 ounces brussels sprouts ends trimmed
1 small apple
4 pieces bacon cooked and crumbled
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup feta cheese

Instructions

In a bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside to allow red pepper flakes to rehydrate.
Thin slice brussels sprouts and apple and add to a bowl along with bacon, almonds, and feta cheese.
Top salad with dressing and toss to coat.
Chill until ready to serve. Toss salad once more before serving in case any dressing has settled in the bottom of the bowl.

Notes

Serve same day: Salad is best served within 24 hours for best flavor and texture.
Storage: Leftover salad will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Spice adjustment: For more heat, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the dressing. Red pepper flakes need time to rehydrate before you'll taste the heat of the dressing. Over time, dressing heat will increase.
