Cooking Steps
1
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the bacon rashers until crispy and brown, 3-4 mins on each side. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
- Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
NOTE: Adding chicken? Slice through the breasts to make thin steaks, season with salt and pepper and fry for 3-6 mins each side. Remove before adding the bacon.
2
- Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes into 2cm cubes and pop into a small bowl.
- Add the pesto and a drizzle of oil then gently stir to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
3
- Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board, face-down.
- Cut withways into ½ cm thick slices.
- Drain the mozzarella and cut into ½ cm thick slices.
4
- Layer salad leaves, avocado and mozzarella around the perimeter of each serving plate, alternating between the three to create a circular fanned-out pattern.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the pesto tomatoes in the centre of the plate. Arrange the bacon slices on top.
- Finish by drizzling swirls of balsamic glaze onto the salad.
