Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Asparagus, avocado, bacon and soya bean salad

  1. Heat a saucepan of water to a fast boil, add the soya beans and cook for 4 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until the asparagus is just tender. Drain well.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan and fry the bacon until crisp.
  3. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and lemon zest and season to taste.
  4. Place the asparagus and soya beans in a bowl, add the bacon, avocado and spring onions. Stir in the dressing, adjust seasoning and serve.

Cook's tip: Chop up the avocado just before serving to make sure the flesh stays a lovely bright green, as it can go brown if left out for too long.
