Brussel Sprout and Bacon Salad with an Orange Vinaigrette

I think by now everyone knows I have a love affair with brussel sprouts.  They are so good!  But one thing I haven't done is prepare them raw.  I have grilled them and roasted them and sauteed them so I figured it was time to figure out a way to eat them raw.

Spicy Grilled Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts are one of those veggies that has such a bad rap.  Which personally, I don't understand how anyone can not like them! They are totally delicious.  It is pretty much like asparagus and an artichoke had a love child and out came brussel sprouts.  Add in a little kick of spice, and the grill and you might have the best version of a veggie, like ever.  Seriously, they were amazing.
