Avocado, Pear and Bacon Salad


Description

Avocado, pear and bacon salad is really a match made in heaven. Take advantage of the creamy avocado, sweet pear and salty bacon. Best served immediately. Add more flavour with whole grained mustard and balsamic vinegar. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large or 2 small ripe avocados, sliced
  • mixed salad leaves
  • 60 ml (4 tbsp) olive oil
  • 175g (6 oz) smoked bacon, diced
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
  • 5ml (1 tsp) wholegrain mustard
  • 1 large or 2 small ripe dessert pears, cored and sliced
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Arrange the avocado slices and some salad leaves on four plates.
