6 slices bacon - cooked to package directions, crumbled
1 lb Brussels sprouts - cleaned, trimmed and shredded - or a bag of pre-shredded Brussels also works
1/4 cup Caesar Salad Dressing - plus more to taste - homemade or store-bought
Panko-Parmesan topping - recipe follows - optional

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs - I used kikkoman gluten free, any brand you like is fine
1/4 cup parmesan cheese - grated
2 pinches of pepper - optional

Prepare bacon according to package directions. Once done, allow to cool before roughly chopping.
Prepare Brussels sprouts: rinse with water, dry thoroughly, and trim stems. Using the slicing attachment of your food processor, add a handful of whole Brussels and shred. This will need to be done in batches.
To make Panko Breadcrumbs: heat the same skillet you used to make the bacon over medium heat. Add panko, parmesan and pepper (is using), stir to combine and toast for 1-2 minutes until browned. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl/ramekin.
To a serving or mixing bowl, add shredded Brussels, crumbled bacon and 1/2 of breadcrumbs. Mix in ¼ cup Caesar Salad dressing and gently toss to combine. Add additional dressing, if desired. Top with remaining panko mixture.

How to shred Brussels Sprouts

The fastest, easiest way to shred Brussels sprouts is with a food processor fitted with the slicing attachment.

Make sure to rinse to clean whole Brussels sprout. Dry thoroughly.
Slice off the tough woody stems, using a chef's knife. Discard stems.
As you're slicing, a few outer leaves will usually fall away. Discard those leaves.
With the slicing attachment fitted, drop a handful of whole Brussels sprouts in. You may need to do this in batches.
