     Yield: 2 servings

   100 g  Smoked bacon lardons
     1 lg Ripe avocado
       sm Bag of baby leaf salad
          Stale bread chunk
     1 tb Rosemary leaves
     3 cl Garlic
     1    Shallot; finely diced
     3 tb Balsamic vinegar
     1 ts Demerara sugar; heaping

 Start by preparing the croutons. Set the oven @ 190°C/375°F, cut
 the bread in 1" cubes coat in a little oil, season and mix through
 whole cloves of garlic. Bake until golden brown and crisps. Remove
 and set aside.

 Heat the pan and gently fry bacon until well cooked and a little
 crisp. Set aside, leave the residual fat in the pan though to make
 the dressing with.

 Prep the avocado, cut in half. Carefully remove the stone and score
 the avocado into cubes.

 To make the dressing - reheat the pan with the bacon fat, add the
 diced shallot, cook gently until fully softened. Deglaze with
 balsamic vinegar, whisk in the rapeseed oil to emulsify. Add
 cracked black pepper and Demerara sugar.

 Arrange salad between two bowls, scatter over diced avocado, the
 still warm cooked bacon, the croutons. Spoon over the pan dressing
 and season the salad.
