Method

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the ciabatta for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until starting to crisp and brown, then tip into a large salad bowl.
  2. Lay the chorizo in the pan and dry-fry for 2 minutes until it gives out a red oil. Toss in the tomatoes and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. Drizzle over the vinegar, add the sugar and season well.
  3. MIX TOGETHER Gently toss the avocado, salad and remaining olive oil with the croutons. Spoon over the chorizo and tomatoes and drizzle with any pan juices. Serve immediately.

    So gorgeous, perfect summer meal. Fried some sliced mushrooms in with the tomatoes, and added raw red pepper with the salad for crunch which was great. Had some whole black olives lying around so threw in a handful of those also, very complementary with the chorizo. Will definitely make this again.

    Very nice! I baked my croutons with 1/2 tblsp of oil to save on some fat and calories, but you really wouldn't have noticed the difference. very nice indeed! Will be doing again :o)

    So easy and delicious! I'll use a bit less oil next time as the chorizo produces its own when fried.

    Made this for a lunch with friends..went down a storm. Really tasty with the chorizo and the avocado is a filling addition. I prepared the chorizo and tomatoes in advance and kept warm in the oven on a low heat so that I could enjoy the pre meal chat! Didn't add any sugar..it was delicious. Will definately make this again.

    Very tasty, I added prawns too. I must say though that it was very rich and heavy for a main course and would be better served as a small portion for a starter.

    Just made and enjoyed this for lunch today. Its dead simple to throw together despite the number of ingredients and I used very little in the way of pots. For my serving I added about half a chopped red pepper and half a red onion which I think really adds to the whole thing. I'm just getting used to the idea of avocado and it complimented the heat of the chorizo nicely, with the cooked tomatoes providing a lovely hit of juice and flavour. Making again this week!

    Delicious combination of flavours - I omitted the sugar but it still tasted great! Even better that it was so easy to make, will definitely be trying this again.

    Yum! Tasty and speedy! Only reason I've given 4 not 5 stars is because I thought the avocado was a bit overwhelmed by the (yummy!) flavours of chorizo and balsamic and I couldn't really tell it was there. Maybe next time I will just put in extra! Great lunch though, try this.
