Blueberry Spinach Salad (With Bacon And Avocado)
Report
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.

Instructions
- Heat 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.
- Scatter the salad leaves over a large plate or platter, then sprinkle over the avocado and blueberries. Tear the bacon over the salad, too.
- To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a food processor (hand-held works well) and whizz until smooth.
- Serve the salad with the dressing drizzled over and the toasted bread (if using).

Notes
- Cooking the bacon: I find it's easier to cook the bacon in whole slices in a dry pan until crisp, and then tear it into pieces to throw into the salad. Alternatively, if you have an air fryer, I highly recommend trying your hand at air fryer bacon.
- How to serve: Serve with this blueberry vinaigrette to elevate your salad from good to exceptional. Alternatively serve with a simple honey balsamic dressing: quarter cup olive oil whisked with 2 tablespoons balsamic and 2 tablespoons honey.
- Eat immediately while the bacon is still warm.
- Serve as a simple but delicious lunch, or with grilled chicken, steak or fish on the side.
