Description

Smokey bacon and creamy avocado are nothing special on a spinach salad, but add a sweet and savory blueberry dressing and you’re in for a treat.


Ingredients

Scale

For the salad

  • 4 rashers smoked bacon
  • 50 grams/1.75 ounces salad leaves of your choice (I used a mixture of rocket, baby spinach & red chard)
  • ½ a large avocado, sliced into chunks
  • about 70 grams/2.5 ounces blueberries

For the dressing

  • See the link above

To serve

  • toasted bread drizzled with olive oil & salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and cook the bacon for a couple of minutes or so on each side until golden and a bit crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Scatter the salad leaves over a large plate or platter, then sprinkle over the avocado and blueberries. Tear the bacon over the salad, too.
  3. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a food processor (hand-held works well) and whizz until smooth.
  4. Serve the salad with the dressing drizzled over and the toasted bread (if using).
