A simple 4-ingredient blueberry spinach salad fancied up with crowd pleasing crispy bacon and avocado! I promise you, it all goes really well, and the pièce de résistance is the tangy mustard-y optional but highly recommended blueberry vinaigrette. Delicious, and ready in just 20 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

  • 4 slices smoked bacon
  • 2 ounces baby spinach (Alternatively, use any fresh salad leaves)
  • 1/2 a large avocado (sliced into chunks)
  • 2 1/2 ounces blueberries
  • 1 ounce blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon teaspoon clear honey
  • toasted bread drizzled with olive oil & salt (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Heat a frying pan over a high heat and cook the bacon for 5 minutes or so on each side until golden and a bit crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. 2Scatter the salad leaves over a large plate or platter, then sprinkle over the avocado and blueberries. Tear the bacon over the salad, too.
  3. 3To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a food processor (hand-held works well) and whizz until smooth.
  4. 4Serve the salad with the dressing drizzled over and the toasted bread (if using).
