Author:
Serves: Serves 2
Ingredients
For the bacon:
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 rashers short-cut back bacon
For the salad:
  • 2 small heads of little gem lettuce
  • 1 punnet (about 1 cup) cherry tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. To make the bacon, stir together the spices and oil in a small bowl, and then rub this mixture all over the bacon.
  2. Cook the bacon, either in a pan over a low heat or under the grill, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. It will look darker than usual, because of the spices.
  3. Set the bacon on some paper towel, to drain.
  4. Wash the lettuce and slice each head into 4 or 5 wedges. Lay the wedges out on a big plate.
  5. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them over, and then slice the avocado in two, remove the seed and scoop out each half. Chunk or slice the avocado over the salad.
  6. Make a dressing by whisking the lemon juice, olive oil, a big pinch of salt (about ½ tsp) and plenty of black pepper.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad, slice the bacon into large pieces and scatter them over, and then serve!
