Salads with a Hint of Breakfast!

Having written several posts recently with different ideas for breakfasts,  I started to think about how to use some of these ingredients such as smoked bacon & eggs in salads.

Version 1 with lemon juice

Ingredients

• 1 iceberg lettuce
• 1 cucumber
• 4 hard boiled eggs
• 250g smoked bacon
• Lemon juice
• Chives to garnish
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method

• Cut the lettuce into shreds with a sharp knife.
• Peel the cucumber or part peel in stripes lengthwise.
• Chop the cucumber into small pieces.
• Chop up the hard boiled eggs into small pieces.
• Chop up the bacon into small squares and fry without extra oil until all the fat has come out.
• Use kitchen roll to soak up the excess fat and leave to cool completely.
• Mix all the ingredients together
• Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Add the lemon juice and stir.
• Add chopped chives to serve.
