Ingredients
  

For the salad:

  • lbs brussels sprouts
  • 3 oz pancetta cubed
  • cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ½ 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 3 slices white bread or 4–5 inches of a baguette sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the lemon thyme vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the bread or baguette on a sheet pan and bake until lightly toasted, about 8–10 minutes.
  • Place the bread in a food processor. Pulse until the bread forms breadcrumbs (there can be some slightly larger chunks).
  • Place the breadcrumbs back on the sheet pan and toss with the melted butter. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a single layer and bake for another 3–4 minutes, or until toasted.
  • Meanwhile, place the pancetta in a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is light brown and crispy. Place the cooked pancetta on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Cut the stem off of each brussels sprout. Cut each sprout in half horizontally, then make thin vertical cuts to create ribbons. Place in a large bowl.
  • Add the chopped artichoke hearts, shredded parmesan, pancetta, and breadcrumbs. Toss to combine.
  • Place the vinaigrette ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until combined. Note: the salad itself contains several somewhat-salty ingredients (pancetta, parmesan, and artichoke hearts). You really only need a small pinch of salt in the vinaigrette.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip #1: The salad is best right after it’s made. The breadcrumbs will become soft and the salad will lose its crunch as it sits.
Tip #2: The other half a can of artichoke hearts can be used for these Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes (recipe coming soon!). They pair wonderfully together.
