Instructions

1 Brown the bacon in a large saute pan. Remove bacon from pan and allow to cool,
then crumble.
2 To the hot pan of bacon drippings, add garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring
continuously, until golden. Remove from heat.
3 In a large bowl or glass jar with a lid, thoroughly mix all remaining
ingredients except cream fraiche and cooked bacon. Add this to the garlic and
shallots in the saute pan.
4 Return the saute pan to the burner, add and whisk gently over low heat until the
mixture thickens just slightly. Add about 1/3 of the crumbled bacon while the
dressing is heating.
5 Once thoroughly heated and slightly thickened, remove the pan from the heat and
stir in the cream fraiche.
6 Add additional salt/pepper to taste. Serve warm.
7 Remove stems and outer leaves from Brussels sprouts, then chop in halves and
feed into a food processor, equipped with the slicing blade (Skip this step if
using pre-shaved Brussels).
8 In a large mixing bowl, toss all salad ingredients with the desired amount of
warm bacon dressing (I used the entire batch of dressing).
9 Top with a sprinkle of feta cheese (optional).
