Camembert and Bacon Salad (serves 4)

This has to be one of my favourite salads – I could honestly eat it several times a week and sometimes I do just that! The salad is full of strong flavours and so it is best served as a starter or light meal (ie. not as a side salad). The optional sweet potato is also great!

Ingredients:

8 rashers bacon
2 rounds of camembert, sliced (+- 200g)
1 red onion, sliced
16 cherry tomatoes, halved
8 spring onions, finely chopped (white part only)
4 cups baby spinach, sliced
2 tbsp cooking oil

Dressing

4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1tsp mixed herbs

Optional:

Thinly sliced, fried sweet potato goes extremely well with this dish. Add it to the dish or use it as a substitute for vegetarians.

Method:

1. Fry the onion in a little oil and then set aside
2. Fry the bacon in a little oil and once cooled, cut into strips
3. Now combine all the ingredients together and pour the dressing over, tossing well to mix it through.
