Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad!!!

You need to make this TODAY!!!  This salad is tied with the kale for my favorite dish!  My mom has made this before and gave me the recipe.   The flavor profile is so perfect this could be a restaurant dish.  I LOVE the texture of the shaved sprouts and the saltiness of the bacon and cheese.  YUM.  The dressing has orange and lemon and its perfection.  I served it with a new meatball recipe that I will share tomorrow.  It was amazing.   You need a lot of sprouts and shredding them by hand like my mom does would take forever so I used my mini food processor.  I think you could def do them in the vitamix and it would be even faster!   I promise this recipe will not disappoint!
