1 1/4 pounds brussels sprouts
6 thick slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled, fat drained and reserved
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
1/4 cup lightly chopped toasted pistachios
1-inch knob fresh horseradish, peeled (optional)

1
Peel off and discard the darker outer leaves of the sprouts and trim any discolored areas from the stem ends.
2
Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise, then slice them crosswise very thinlyabout 1/16 inch.
3
(Alternatively, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicer attachment, but the cuts will not be as clean.)
4
Transfer to a large heatproof bowl, add the bacon, and set aside.
5
Measure 1/4 cup of the reserved bacon fat into a small pan and warm over low heat until liquified (if you dont have enough bacon fat, make up the difference with olive oil).
6
Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar, shallot, garlic, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
7
Drizzle the dressing over the brussels sprouts and toss well.
8
Taste and season with more salt as necessary.
9
If you have time, let the salad sit out for 30 minutes or so before proceedingin this time, the dressing helps the sprouts soften a bit.
10
Just before serving, top with the toasted pistachios; if using the horseradish, use a microplane grater to shave a little over the top as well.
