Ingredients
- Streaky bacon

1. To a frying pan add 2 tablespoons of oil. (I've used olive oil). Heat your oil and fry off you bacon strips until crispy. One. Fried, remove your bacon strips and place one some kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
2. Next lay these onto a chopping board and with a sharp knife chip each bacon strip roughly into 4 or 5 pieces.
3. Now chop your cherry tomatoes into halves (I've left a few of them whole).
4. Slice your avocado into half and de-seed. Then slice each half into quarters and chop roughly.
5. Wash your radish & beetroot and slice thinly.( I like to chop my radish into batons or thin strips.6. To a bowl add your green & red multi leaf lettuce,your spinach leaves and your other chopped veg. Lightly toss your leafy salad before adding your croutons & Tossing once more. Lastly you will add your chopped crispy bacon cuts and give your salad one final toss.
7. Garnish with light salad dressing if you choose or eat straight from the bowl.
*Tip you can add some sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or dried pumpkin seeds to your salad during the tossing stage to add an extra crunch.
*Tip: Serve this salad with some baked & sliced chicken breast for a complete, colourful & healthy meal.
(Great for picnics, post gym meals or just of everyday salad lovers.)
