Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350' F. Lay bacon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes until crisp. Remove from heat and reserve rendered fat for the dressing.

Step 2

Using a food processor or mandoline, shred brussels sprouts as you would cabbage for coleslaw. Rinse, drain, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked bacon, cherries, and almonds to the shaved sprouts.

Step 3

To make the dressing, combine olive oil, mustard, honey, red wine vinegar, and liquid bacon fat in a small bowl. Whisk until combined, then pour over the salad. Toss to completely coat.

Step 4

Garnish salad with shavings of pecorino. For large ribbons use a vegetable peeler along the long side of the cheese and repeat lengthwise.
