Brussels Sprouts Cranberry Salad with Greek Yogurt Vinaigrette is loaded with healthy goodness.  Raw brussels sprouts tossed with bacon, walnuts, cranberries and did I say b-a-c-o-n then topped with this killer homemade greek yogurt vinaigrette.

Brussels Sprouts Cranberry Salad with Greek Yogurt Vinagrette Recipe Gluten Free Grain Free

Busting out the brussles again, with of course bacon.  I think those two are perfect companions in a bowl.  This is my new favorite salad, especially the vinaigerette, {why is viaigerette so hard to spell?}  it is so darn easy to toss together and I love the sweet salty crunchy combo.  So will you I promise!

I am a pretty lazy salad maker, I get less and less creative and uninspired so I say “ehh not tonight”.  This was especially true through the hustle and bustle of the holidays when time and energy was short.  For awhile my husband would walk into the kitchen to see me plating up out dinner and ask “where is the salad”, that would get him a dirty look, I mean I just made this AMAZING dinner and all you can ask is “where is the salad?”

Don’t look at me like I am crazy!

So he has learned a new tactic, he walks in the room sees their is no salad and says “I will make the salad”, not really asking just doing.  Fine by me, see totally not crazy!

Of course the fact that my husband is pretty darn good at throwing a salad together with no recipe no plan just pulls out what ever veggies I have in the fridge, cuts, chops, tosses and plates, makes this a new favorite tactic of mine.  I mean I really want a salad at dinner, not in the mood to make one, so…. I don’t he walks in and voila I have my salad.  See clever, not crazy!

Do you have a favorite salad recipe?  What is it? Come on and share!

On a side note today is groundhog day here in the United States, my friend sent me this graphic, I think it says it all, don’t you?

    Maybe I can get my husband to start doing this..like I’ll put out all of the ingredients to make dinner, and when he gets home I’ll say “Sorry honey, I’ve been so busy, I meant to make dinner..” 🙂

    Brussels sprouts and bacon are BFF’s! I love how well they pair together and a quick salad like this is perfect for “oh crap I don’t know what to make” weeknight dinners.
