Servings 2
Calories 347

Ingredients

  • 2 fridge-cold eggs
  • 2 smoked back bacon rashers
  • 1 romaine lettuce heart, leaves separated
  • ½ large avocado, stoned, peeled and sliced
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, torn into thin strips
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cooked beetroot (about 125g), drained if in vinegar, cut into chunks
  • blue cheese dressing, (see below) to serve

Instructions

  • Half fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 7 minutes. When cooked, drain, then plunge the eggs straight into cold water. Leave for 5 minutes before peeling.
  • Meanwhile, heat a small non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the bacon. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Cut into small pieces.
  • Roughly tear the lettuce and scatter over a serving platter. Top with the eggs (cut into quarters), bacon, avocado, tomatoes, chicken, onion and beetroot. Serve with a blue cheese dressing or a drizzle of thick balsamic vinegar.
  • Blue cheese dressing: Mix together 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons buttermilk or fat-free natural yoghurt and ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar in a small bowl until well combined. Crumble 20g Roquefort cheese into the dressing, season with a little flaked sea salt and ground black pepper and combine until almost smooth.

Using a few ingredients you can create an easy war Using a few ingredients you can create an easy warm salad that's just right for this in-between weather.  Toss chickpeas, cubes of squash and cauliflower with a little olive oil and spices (I use a combination of cumin, coriander and chilli), scatter onto a tray and bake in a hot oven until lightly roasted. Toss with baby spinach and roasted peppers from a jar, before drizzling with a simple yoghurt dressing.⁠

I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe fr I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe from my book ‘Quick and Easy’ because I don't need any scales – just a small yoghurt pot for all my measuring. They’re deliciously light and very simple to make – the key is to have your pan nice and hot before adding the batter. (You can swipe for the recipe – I’ve included the weights and measures in case you are using a larger 500g pot of yoghurt.)
