Warm Watercress, Bacon And Apple Salad

Warm Watercress, Bacon And Apple Salad. Hello friends. So how are you keeping?

Yesterday I mentioned that I would be sharing a few of the new autumn/winter Watercress recipes starting with a Pumpkin Risotto With Watercress Pesto recipe.

Today I have a tasty Warm Watercress, Bacon And Apple Salad recipe to share with you.

A Warm Watercress, Bacon, and Apple Salad is a delightful fusion of flavours and textures that brings a fresh and savoury experience to your plate.

This recipe serves 2 for lunch or 4 as a side dish without the bread. Also, so tasty.

The peppery notes of crisp watercress blend seamlessly with the smoky, salty crunch of bacon, creating a robust base for the salad.

How To Make Warm Watercress, Bacon And Apple Salad. This recipe offers a cozy yet refreshing option.

Thin quarters of sweet, juicy apple add a refreshing contrast, their natural sugars enhancing the savoury elements.

Tossed together with a light, tangy vinaigrette, this salad offers a balanced and vibrant bite in every forkful.

Perfect for a light lunch or as a starter, this dish showcases the harmonious interplay of fresh produce and rich, hearty ingredients.

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 150g watercress
• 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
• 2 Bramley apples
• 100ml apple cider
• 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Bread rolls and salted butter to serve

Warm Watercress, Bacon And Apple Salad:

Method:

1. Chop the bacon into small pieces. Cut the apples into quarters before removing the core and cutting into segments.
2. Place a large frying pan or wok onto the stove on a high heat and add in a half tablespoon of vegetable oil.  Once the oil is hot, add in the bacon and apple and stir.  Fry until the bacon begins to crisp and the apple is coloured nicely on the outside.  Add in the cider and reduce to a sticky consistency.
3. Add in the watercress and stir-fry for 30 seconds, making sure it is well coated in the bacon and cider.  Serve in a large dish along with some crusty bread and salted butter if having for lunch, or why not serve with a pork chop and some mashed potato for a delicious evening meal.
