So here is my friend Charlie and I's own spin on the BLT Bowl - together agreed it to be THE best salad we've ever tasted!
Described by Rosie (aka. The Londoner) as a BLT, minus the bread and with a whole bunch of other goodies thrown in, it is truly fabulous!
The ingredients we used for a meal for two were:
Half an iceberg lettuce & half a bag of rocket*
Handful of coriander
About 14 tommy tomatoes
Half a cucumber
An avocado (mmm my favourite!)
Handful of light Greek salad cheese
4 slices of bacon
*(you can use whatever salad leaves you like, pick your favourite! We just used up what we found in the fridge)
Whilst Charlie kept an eye on the sizzling bacon, I chopped all the ingredients in small pieces and threw them into a large bowl. Once the bacon was nice and crispy, we cut the fat off to throw away and chopped the remaining bacon into small strips before adding to the salad bowl. We then topped it with square pieces of Greek cheese and croutons. Seasoned with salt and pepper.
For the dressing, I mixed 2 tbl spoons of olive oil with 1 tbl spoon of balsamic vinegar. Adding 1 tsp of mustard and the juice of a small lemon, stir it all together.
Pour over salad, shake it all together and voila! Bon apatite!
A glass of pink lemonade went perfectly well!
The recipe is so simple and easy to do. It's healthy and filling but most of all, tastes amazing and so fresh.
After a session of swimming, we thoroughly enjoyed the BLT Bowl!
