4 servings
For the salad
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, tough outer leaves removed, thinly shaved or sliced
- 4 strips uncured pork bacon, no added spices
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (green tops only)
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the dressing
- ⅓ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning once, until the fat has rendered and the strips are crisp, about 7–9 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
While the bacon cooks, use a sharp knife or mandoline to shave the Brussels sprouts into thin slices, starting from the top and working toward the stem end. Discard the stem ends. Place the shaved sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
