After a good night out this will set you right. No, who am I kidding? You want grease. BUT do not fret, this one is still magnificently good. So good you’ll forget all your troubles and headache. The crunch of the asparagus. The softness of the egg. The subtle pepper of the rocket. And to top it of, the crispy, salty bacon. If this salad was a human it would be the Patrick Swayze\u00a0of salads.<\/p>\n

With its exceptional good\u00a0rhythm (the ingredients are just perfect together, naturally there’ll be dancing) this salad will make you wish you were Baby in the corner. It’s that bloody charming.<\/p>\n

The Patrick Swayze <\/b><\/p>\n

What you’ll need for the salad:<\/b><\/p>\n

150g \u00a0 \u00a0 Asparagus<\/p>\n

2 cups \u00a0Wild rocket<\/p>\n

6 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Free range eggs<\/p>\n

200g \u00a0 \u00a0Diced bacon<\/p>\n

Mustard-Lime Dressing<\/b><\/p>\n

30ml \u00a0 \u00a0 All grain mustard<\/p>\n

30ml \u00a0 \u00a0 Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/p>\n

30ml \u00a0 \u00a0 Lime juice<\/p>\n

5ml \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Lime zest<\/p>\n

Pinch of sea salt<\/p>\n

Get the timer ready, you’re about to start:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Steam the asparagus for 4 minutes. You still want that crunch. Topple with cold water to keep it green.<\/p>\n

2. Boil the eggs for 6 minutes. Trust me, they will be perfect.<\/p>\n

3. Place bacon over high heat. No need to add extra oil, it’s greasy enough. Fry until crispy, set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

4. For the dressing, add all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork until combined.<\/p>\n

5. Assemble the salad. Place all the ingredients together in a bowl. Topple over dressing. Toss. Shake. Channel your inner Baby. Now smother that beautiful face with Patrick Swayze. Cue Time of my Life. The stage is yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
