There's Bacon In It: A Salad Recipe that will make you exclaim, "SALAD!"; not cry, "Ugh, salad?!"

Beautiful weather is on its way; and is there anything more satisfying than eating a crunchy salad in the sun?! Here’s one that is delicious and will pair nicely with any BBQ meal you have this summer!

I ate this salad this weekend and made a few changes to the original recipe I found online. I love light dressings that allow the sweetness of the apples and cabbage to shine through, so I made a simpler one than what was suggested. Ingredients with a ¹ are from the original, and a ² is my suggestion.

Here are the Ingredients you will need:

• 8 ounces sliced bacon (not thick-cut, about 9 slices), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar ¹
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons honey ¹
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard ¹
• Juice of ½ lemon²
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 small head green cabbage (approx 2 pounds or 10 cups) shredded
• 10 brussel sprouts, shredded
• 1 sweet, red apple (ex. Pink Lady or Royal Gala)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• Freshly ground black pepper
