Brussel sprouts and bacon salad

Last night we decided to have a barbecue and it's always a question of what to have as a side dish. I bought the cook book from Eat Drink Paleo yesterday and found this recipe in it. Luckily both me and my other half love brussel sprouts so it was an easy decision.

Ingredients
serves 3-4
500g brusselssprouts, washed and halved
3 slices of bacon, diced and crispy fried
1–2 tbsp macadamia or coconut oil
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp hot mustard
½ lime, juice
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
10 cherry tomatoes, halved

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss brussel sprouts in macadamia orcoconut oil and roast for 30 minutes, until crisped and browned. Stir half way through.
Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Add fresh cherry tomatoes and bacon to roasted brussel sprouts and toss together with the dressing. Serve in the same roasting tray or in a salad bowl.
