Hi Reader,

I mostly share baking recipes, but every now and then, something savory deserves the spotlight. And this warm Brussels sprouts salad with bacon and apple absolutely does. 💚 It’s cozy, flavorful, and fits right in with your favorite fall foods...

warm brussels sprouts salad with apple and bacon

Think crispy, salty, sweet, and bright—all tossed together in one skillet and finished with a maple-orange vinaigrette that tastes like pure sunshine. ☀️

✨ Bonus tip: The maple-citrus dressing can be made ahead, and you can easily make the salad vegetarian. See recipe Notes.

Soft Multigrain Bread
