Wash and trim the end of the Brussels sprouts. If wilted, remove outer leaves. Cut an x in the base of each Brussels sprout.

Steam or boil the Brussels sprouts until tender, about 8-10 minutes. (Note: if steaming only cook one layer at a time, do not stack the sprouts).

Sauté the bacon. When it just begins to brown, add the shallots and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. 

Combine the remaining dressing ingredients and pour into the skillet.

Cut the sprouts in half, and toss in the dressing. Serve immediately.

Ingredients
About 15 firm Brussels sprouts
4 slices bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
3 shallots thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon sea salt
