This was just a really quick supper before Ben had to shoot out to play tennis the other night, but it was so tasty that I thought it was worth a quick post!
Now I know salad may not be the first choice for dinner for most of you given the snow and general chilly-ness outside at the moment, but I fall back on it time and time again as a (reasonably) healthy and instant dinner. Now, I say reasonably because I invariably top salads with delicious things like chorizo, bacon, and a good glug of oil and vinegar which I certainly cannot argue as being super healthy!
This salad used an absolutely classic combination of pork and apple which is always a bit of a winner. I used a diced fresh apple and crispy unsmoked bacon which gave a fantastic flavour, as well as a good mix of textures.
The rest of the salad was made up of mixed leaves (iceberg lettuce, rocket, watercress and baby spinach), diced cucumber, spring onions, and moonblush tomatoes, and I topped it with a few shavings of parmesan. The dressing was just olive oil, balsamic vinegar and tiny bit of salt, but finished it off perfectly.

Lovely combination.
Thanks! The freshness of the apple worked really well with the crisp salty bacon – pork and apple is such a brilliant pairing!
Looks like a delicious antidote to winter, very tasty with contrasting and complementary ingredients, thanks for the reminder to eat more salad at this time of year, Tracey
Hi Tracey – thanks for another lovely comment! If only the weather would get my salad hint and start cheering up a bit – it’s blowing an icy gale outside!!
Biting wind here too, but great that our maritime climate keeps the snow at bay. Stay safe if the snow comes, T
That just looks delightful!!!
Oops just noticed this comment still pending! Thanks for the comment, it worked out really well – definitely worth a try!
