 Categories: Pork, Greens, Bread, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 2 servings

    100 g  Smoked bacon lardons
      1 lg Ripe avocado
        sm Bag of baby leaf salad
           Stale bread chunk
      1 tb Rosemary leaves
      3 cl Garlic
      1    Shallot; finely diced
      3 tb Balsamic vinegar
      1 ts Demerara sugar; heaping
      5 tb Rapeseed oil
           Salt & pepper

  Start by preparing the croutons. Set the oven @ 190 C/375 F, cut
  the bread in 1" cubes coat in a little oil, season and mix through
  whole cloves of garlic. Bake until golden brown and crisps. Remove
  and set aside.

  Heat the pan and gently fry bacon until well cooked and a little
  crisp. Set aside, leave the residual fat in the pan though to make
  the dressing with.

  Prep the avocado, cut in half. Carefully remove the stone and score
  the avocado into cubes.

  To make the dressing - reheat the pan with the bacon fat, add the
  diced shallot, cook gently until fully softened. Deglaze with
  balsamic vinegar, whisk in the rapeseed oil to emulsify. Add
  cracked black pepper and Demerara sugar.

  Arrange salad between two bowls, scatter over diced avocado, the
  still warm cooked bacon, the croutons. Spoon over the pan dressing
  and season the salad.
