How to make a Broccoli, crispy bacon and garlic salad

A fresh crunchy salad with a sweet and creamy dressing.

For the dressing

Juice of 1 lime

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 teaspoons sweet chilli sauce

For the salad

1 head of broccoli

4 slices streaky bacon, finely chopped

2 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced

black and white sesame seeds to garnish

Remove the stalk and chop the broccoli into small florets. Grate the broccoli stalk and sprinkle onto the serving plates. Arrange the broccoli florets on top.

Heat a medium frying pan with a little rapeseed oil and fry the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. Pour out most of the oil left in the pan, add the sliced garlic and fry until just beginning to turn golden. Remove immediately and put onto the same plate.

Sprinkle the crispy bacon and fried garlic over the broccoli florets.

Put all the dressing ingredients into a small jar, screw on the lid and shake well to combine. Pour the creamy dressing over the salad and serve sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds.
