Sometimes eating a salad isn’t always the most appealing option, but thankfully this is one of those really satisfying and filling salads that feels like a treat. I think most things are improved with cheese and this salad certainly is. The beans make it really filling and the bacon and feta cheese give it a big smack of flavour. This is a really easy recipe that can be banged together in no time.
Instructions
Step 1
All your ingredients.
Step 2
Fry the pancetta in a little oil on a high heat for a minute or two, just until they’re golden.
Step 3
Drain the beans and rinse them well. The tinned beans are almost always cooked first so no need to boil them. Place the drained beans in a bowl.
Step 4
Rinse your rocket and let it drain in a colander.
Step 5
Crumble almost half a packet of feta cheese into the beans.
Step 6
Top with the fried bacon.
Step 7
Sprinkle in the chopped chilli and the zest of a lemon. Make sure you deseed the chillies first unless you want it really hot.
Step 8
Add in the drained rocket and toss it all together with your hands.
Step 9
Sprinkle a little more feta over the top and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Step 10
Serve!
This makes a perfect, quick dinner after work and a great side side if you’re making a big meal for friends.
