I served this at a dinner party with some friends. One of them had never tried brussel sprouts before and loved the recipe. Those of that liked brussel sprouts loved the recipe as well. Very easy to make. I used frozen brussel sprouts (couldn't find fresh brussel sprouts).

I expected to love this recipe since I like the bacon and vinegar combination used in German potato salad, but this was not at all what I expected. Maybe I messed it up by using frozen Brussels sprouts but they had a yucky bitter taste that neither my husband nor I cared for.

I had never really tried brussel sprouts since I was a kid (and I didn't like them at all then) so when the fresh market had some beautiful ones, we decided to try them. I found your recipe which sounded great (especially since I love balsamic vinegar) This dish has now become one of my absolute favorites! I could have eaten just this and left the rest of the dinner for leftovers! And I hope you don't mind, but I told all my friends at work about this, and then had to share the recipe with them. Can't wait to get back to the market to buy more brussel sprouts. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!
