Autumn Salad By Epicure On A Budget

1. 1

   Wash and dry the lettuce and set aside.

2. 2

   Wash, dry and slice grapes and cherry tomatoes. Remove the seeds from the grapes then set aside.

3. 3

   In a frying pan heat up the bacon cubes and once the heat has rendered some of the fat in the pan, crush the garlic clove and add it. Cook bacon to a almost crispy stage and then remove from heat. Do not chill!

4. 4

   Peel and dice avocado (dice it, don't slice it).

5. 5

   Crumble the gorgonzola cheese

6. 6

   Arrange lettuce in 4 bowls. Divide the grapes and tomatoes in 4 equal portions. Arrange the grapes, tomatoes and avocado on top of the individual salads. Top with the bacon, gorgonzola and walnuts.

7. 7

   You may use what ever salad dressing you like, but I recommend using an oil and vinegar based dressing for this salad and avoiding creamy dressings as the salad is quite heavy as it is. I use Paul Newman's regular (not creamy) Caesar dressing.
