Kale & bacon salad
By scrunching raw kale with your hands and letting it soak in a dressing, it tenderises and takes on flavour. We’ve tossed it with a creamy Parmesan dressing.

Ingredients
2 tbsp low-fat natural yogurt
2 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ small clove garlic, finely grated
30g Essential Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
250g pack Essential Kale
200g pack Essential British Smoked Bacon Lardons
250g pack Essential Cherry Tomatoes, halved
100g pack cheese and shallot croutons
Method
Put the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and about
3/4 of the grated cheese in a very large mixing bowl. Whisk
with 2-3 tbsp water and a grinding of black pepper to make
a smooth dressing. Add the kale, discarding any tough stalks,
and scrunch the leaves into the dressing with your hands
to tenderise. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes (or chill
for up to 4 hours).
Set a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add
the lardons. Fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly until
golden and crisp. Tip onto kitchen paper to drain.
Pile the marinated kale onto a platter and scatter with the
reserved grated cheese. Top with the lardons, tomatoes,
croutons and a final grinding of black pepper. Serve at once.
Cook’s tip
There's no need to add any oil to the pan when frying the lardons. They will release their own fat as they heat up.
