  the dressing could be a little more refined. we added a little bit of honey to add a sweeter component.

  I added some freshly chopped coriander to the dressing which added a nice flavour.

  very tasty as a main salad for dinner, easy to make but a little sharp so will take earlier left advice and add honey next time!

  I thought this salad was really tasty and so quick to make. I added the honey to the dressing as suggested and it really makes a diffirence.the only bad point was that my avocado was like a rock :(

  Really enjoyed this as a quick tea. Followed the suggestions above and added a pinch of sugar to the dressing and also a pinch of dried thyme to the oil which went on the croutons and some sliced red onion. Yummo!

  Great, tasty warm salad - I served the croutons straight from the oven. Very simple, we loved it.

  Two little things: 1. For the dressing keep it simple... mustard, olive oil, salt & pepper, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. You know when its ready, keep mixing. 2. Forget about the bread. This is an "Iron Salad" and doesn't need the ciabatta croutons. Maybe add more bacon but leave the bread out. ....this would then get a 10/10.

  Really tasty and easy, not too many fiddly ingredients which suits me! Enjoyed as a mid-week main would also suit as a starter

  This used to be my favourite meal at Brown's in Oxford where it was served with a delicious blue cheese dressing. Absolute heaven!
