I made this up when I needed to
do a quick lunch and it turned out well.
Fry up some bacon – I used about 4 rashers cut into quarters
Boil water ready to cook asparagus – I didn’t salt it because I think
the bacon has enough for the whole dish.
Prepare asparagus by snapping off woody ends and then cutting into 2
pieces. If you want to be luxurious, you could just use the tips and save
the other half for making soup.
Cook asparagus in boiling water for 4 -5 minutes – don’t overcook.
Put a sliced tomato, chopped avocado, a couple of slices of red onion, a
roughly chopped spring onion into a salad bowl. Squeeze over some lemon
juice (say 1/3 to ½ of a lemon). Season with pepper - I used white
but black would be fine. I also put into about a teaspoon of olive oil –
but you could leave that out since the bacon has fat.
When the asparagus is ready, drain it and toss it in the pan with the
bacon, then put everything into the salad bowl. Toss and serve as is - it
will be warm but not too warm.
I served some condiments with it - a choice of sweet chilli sauce,
chilli relish and mayo.
Oooo! Yum!
