311. APPLE and BACON SALAD

serves 2


4 slices streaky bacon, sliced
2 red apples, unpeeled, diced
2 wholemeal bread slices, diced
Ground pepper to taste
2 spring onions, or 1/4 red onion, sliced thinly
1 pinch dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive or other salad oil

Fry the bacon in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until it is crisp. Put it in a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the apples to the pan and brown them lightly on one side. Put the apples in the bowl with the bacon. Add the bread to the pan and ‘toast’ it briefly, until bread starts to turn golden. Add the bread to the bowl, along with onions and rosemary. Whisk together the vinegar and oil, drizzle over salad and toss together. Season to taste with pepper and serve.

Serving suggestion: Pile atop lettuce or spinach for lunch.
