hey guys hope you're well so me and Tesco teamed up to bring you more delicious
healthier and affordable recipes like this beautiful warm salad of shredded
Brussels sprouts spinach sliced orange and amazing dressing and homemade
croutons with smoky bacon come on it's beautiful delicious and it's really fun
to make so let's do this get yourself a pan on we're gonna use for the beginning
of the flavor some smoky bacon and you don't have to go mad on the bacon right
so we want to make them healthier so that's also about restraint so four
slices is all we need and just slice it up as fine as you can so what we want to
do is get that crispy I'll add that to the pan and immediately that will start
crisping it up add a little olive oil to the pan and just move it all around it
already smells amazing at the heart of this dish is the smoky bacon and the
crouton so a clever little healthy swap is to make your own crouton because we
can trade up from white bread to like a mixed seed brown bread right so you get
more fiber more goodness and more flavor honestly so if you get like three
centimeter slices just try and slice this up into like centimeter ish cubes
we're gonna use this bread to make the best croutons ever so if you look in the
pan now the Bacon's getting lightly golden take these crouton and just
sprinkle these in and they'll soak up that beautiful smoky flavor will give it
a nice little shake and coat it in that and we're not gonna rush this right
we're gonna kind of take about five minutes maybe ten minutes on a medium
heat just keep moving it tossing it around getting it golden crisp and
delicious so they're gonna blow your mind okay so let's get on to the
Brussels sprouts what you can do is just cut your Brussels sprout in half put
this onto its flat edge then we can just rock chop and go as fine as you can and
that's going to give you a completely different texture more like a slaw now
if you're worried about your knife skills don't worry use a food processor
simply shut all of them in there and literally in seconds you just basically
done so we have beautiful brussel sprouts for the people that are not
converted yet with a little bit of help in hand from the world's best croutons
it's gonna be so so good people will fight for it I promise you so next we're
gonna do a lovely dressing so so simple first and foremost extra virgin olive
oil and then I'm gonna go in with some nice balsamic vinegar delicious
about a tablespoon baby spinach beautiful we could actually just put the
Brussels sprouts in raw and I actually love it but what I quite like to do in
this recipe is just soften them a little bit so what I'm gonna do is just get
these croutons and just shake them to one side like that and put these
beautiful Brussels into the pan give them a little mix around and a little
bit of heat for two or three minutes just softens them makes them a pleasure
to eat and makes them cling on to the dressing in the most beautiful way this
dressing and this salad is gonna come together beautifully
the last bit is the oranges or it could be clementines I just get a bit of that
lovely orange zest for later and this is a fantastic garnish but it's beautiful
and it smells incredible with the Clementine here I'll peel it
and then gorgeous little slices thin as you can you can lay that around our
plate here back to the pan here take all of this into here and this is why it's
called a warm salad right so we need a little bit of speed I'm going to put
this back on the heat there's one last thing I want to do and that's introduce
some hazelnuts believe me this is like the final flourish a
handful just to wake up the flavor it's gonna be amazing
so while they're toasting just get into a nice big bowl get your hands in there
and give it a proper dress do not let any leaf or bit of Brussels go undress
okay that is the joy of a good salad look at nice and quick so you don't cook
the spinach so it's a big tasty substantial salad and then I'm gonna
take these beautiful toasted hazelnuts a wacom in a little pestle and mortar bash
up the hazelnuts and we're literally gonna let it rain down
a little bit of serve orange zests that my friends is a properly properly tasty
salad crispy bacon homemade croutons Brussels with lovely spinach orange and
balsamic gorgeous just get in there I know this is gonna be amazing
mm-hmm those croutons are insanely go gone have a go it's delicious it's
