Recipe FAQs
Yes! It won't have the same pretty color but it will still be delicious.
I prefer using a green apple for this recipe because it adds a nice tartness. Honeycrisp also works great but you can really use whatever you have on hand.

Warm Harvest Salad
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or about ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 cups shaved Brussel sprouts
- 1 small green apple, peeled and diced
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cook 3 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until crisp. While the bacon is cooking make the dressing. Combine wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside. Once the bacon is cooked transfer it to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. *Do not throw out the bacon grease.*
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions to the same skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the shaved Brussel sprouts and cook over medium for another 3 minutes. Add in the green apple and cook for 1 minutes before adding the shredded cabbage and dressing. Cook over medium heat for around 2 minutes until the cabbage has just wilted.
- Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Chop the cooked bacon and mix into the salad. Serve warm and enjoy!
