SUMMER ON A PLATE

WOOD-SMOKED BACON SALAD

There’s an array of flavours and textures at play here – from the deliciously creamy avocado to the subtly sweet dressing and crunchy walnuts – all working in unison with the woody bacon and tart goat’s cheese. Nestled on a bed of rocket, this is a quick and easy salad to whip up, making it a great option for Sunday dinners or when you don’t feel like eating anything too filling.
