Chicken and Bacon Salad

I'm not usually one for salads; they're boring, and eating them makes me feel like a rabbit. However, this recipe is a delicious blend of salad, vegetables and meat and perfect for lunch on a summer's day. I put this recipe together by accident one afternoon whilst trying to make use of all the leftovers in the fridge and have been obsessed with it ever since. Not being the most adventurous of eaters, I stuck to the basic salad essentials but you could easily add some more exotic ingredients such as carrots, or those caper things. Anyhow, I felt the need to share it and if you try it out, let me know!

Chop up and fry the peppers for about 5 minutes.

Chop the cucumber, lettuce and tomato...

... and mix together in a large bowl.

Once the peppers are slightly blackened, remove from the heat and add to the salad.

Chop the chicken in to small chunks and place in the frying pan.

Once the chicken is almost cooked, add the bacon rashers to the pan and cook until crispy.
