Broccoli & Bacon Salad

I made this salad when i was in Sydney recently & again today. After we had a family dinner we had a huge amount of cooked broccoli left over so i figured i’d try this recipe out to so it didn’t go to waste. But i loved it so much and it’s such a good way to get some greens into my (relatively) nutrient-less diet. The below ingredients will serve one for lunch but you can just chuck in as much or as little as you want.

Broccoli & Bacon Salad

Steamed broccoli (half a bunch serves 1) chopped up 

1/2 an avocado cubed

1 rasher of bacon, roughly copped and fried or grilled

Dressing: Equal parts dijon mustard & apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar), i used about 1 teaspoon of each. Mix together and pour over the salad and toss.

Salt & Pepper

Top with almond slivers (if you have them)

Bear with me on this one. I know it looks hella boring but it is actually amazing! I hadn’t tossed the salad in this picture so it looks overly plain – BUT when tossed, the creamy avocado combined with the mustard & vinegar makes it seem like you’re having a fatty mayo dolloped all over the salad..Mmmm
