25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 avocado (average
  • 2 heads lettuce (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 1 spring onions (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 4 slices bacon (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 2 hard boiled eggs (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 1 pinch salt (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • ground black pepper (average, 400 g / 14.2 oz)
  • 1 dash Tabasco Pepper Sauce (avoid for AIP)

Instructions

  • Start by crisping up the bacon.
  • Place the slices in a hot pan.
  • Add 1/2 cup of water and cook over a medium heat to render the fat and until the bacon is crisped up, for 10-15 minutes.
  • When done, set aside.
  • Meanwhile, tear the lettuce and wash well with the spinach.
  • Place in a salad spinner or pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Halve and deseed the avocados and slice into stripes.
  • Make the vinaigrette by mixing all the ingredients.
  • Optionally, peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs.
  • To cook the eggs: Fill a small saucepan with water up to three quarters.
  • Add a good pinch of salt.
  • This will prevent the eggs from cracking.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Using a spoon or hand, dip each egg in and out of the boiling water (be careful not to get burnt!).
  • This will prevent the egg from cracking, as the temperature change won't be so dramatic.
  • To get the eggs hard-boiled, you need round 10 minutes.
  • When done, remove from the heat and place in a bowl filled with cold water.
  • Assemble the salad by folding the lettuce and spinach in a bowl, add crisped up bacon torn in smaller pieces and sliced avocado.
  • Enjoy!
