Description

A meal in itself: Raw spinach and watercress salad with egg and bacon

Method

  1. 1

    Wash the spinach and watercress leaves thoroughly first, and discard the stalks and any damaged leaves. Then dry them carefully in a clean tea towel (or salad basket) - do this a few hours ahead of time if you can, to be sure of getting them quite dry.

    To make the dressing, whisk the first four ingredients together in a basin, using a fork, or shake them together in a screw-top jar, then taste and season to your liking.

    To make the salad, tear the spinach leaves into manageable pieces and place in a salad bowl with the watercress leaves.

    Pour the dressing over and toss the leaves thoroughly. Then garnish with the chopped eggs and the bacon crumbled into small pieces, and eat straight away
