PREP STEPS
Roughly chop the almonds and set aside. Tear ½ of the baguette into bite-sized chunks and set aside. Rinse the tomato, the green leaves, and the bell pepper. Roughly dice ½ the tomato and place into a bowl. Deseed and cut ½ the pepper into strips and add to the bowl of tomatoes. Halve the avocado and set aside half for another meal. Peel the skin off, keeping the flesh intact. Dice the avocado, add to the bowl of veg, and drizzle over ½ the lemon juice. Season and set aside. Drain and crumble the feta. Set aside.
ALL THE ALMONDS
Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRISPY CROUTONS
Toss the bread chunks with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, toast the bread until crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
ADD CRUNCHY & CREAMY
To the bowl of prepped veg, toss through the rinsed leaves, ½ the toasted almonds, the crumbled feta, the crunchy croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
BRING ON THE BACON
Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, reserving any bacon fat left behind in the pan, and drain on paper towel. Allow to cool slightly and cut into pieces.
MMMAYO
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, the remaining lemon juice (to taste), and the reserved liquid bacon fat (to taste). Heat for 1-2 minutes. If it has cooled and hardened, add a splash of water to loosen. Season and set aside.
