Warm Bacon and Avocado Salad

Posted 2015-01-20 by Lindsay Law ⇒ follow

Here's an idea for spring greens, which I find are tricky vegetable to find recipes for. This is a warm salad - the spring greens are wilted and the dressing is a reduction of balsamic vinegar and some butter.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients
90g (or thereabouts) packet of bacon lardons
Two large handful of spring greens (about 3 or 4 leaves per person)
2 avocados
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
20g butter

Method

Fry the bacon lardons in a large wok or frying pan. You will only need a very small amount of oil, as they will release their own fat. Cook until the edges start to brown.

Cut the central stalks out of the spring greens, roll up and cut into thin slices. Drop into the pan with the bacon lardons and cook for a few minutes until they start to wilt.
