  1. Firstly, thank you so much to everyone for the warm welcome (back). It's so
    nice to see familiar faces and to meet new ones. 🙂

    I just had this salad for lunch and I am tempted to run off and marry it. I like salads, but there's
    something about a cold dish of vegetables in the winter that makes me feel like I'm not really
    having a proper meal. This salad is warm, filling, and very tasty - all for around 5 UK points
    (keeping in mind that salad dressing and turkey bacon points will vary depending on the brand).

    This is somewhat based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, and you could also use parma ham in the place of
    the turkey bacon (but remember to factor in any extra points).

    For one person, you need: -a big plateful of fresh spinach (baby spinach is nice for this salad) -2
    turkey rashers/pieces of bacon -handful of thinly sliced mushrooms (chestnut mushrooms are nice and
    have more flavour than regular button mushrooms) -Worcester sauce -1 egg -1 tbsp. of creamy low
    cal/low fat salad dressing -salt and pepper to taste

    Boil the egg until it is almost hard (this will take roughly 7-8 minutes) and sauté the mushrooms in
    some non-stick cooking spray and a few shots of Worcester sauce. In the meantime, grill/broil the
    bacon until very crispy. When the egg is cooked, place in cold water so that you can handle it to
    peel it easily. On the spinach, drizzle the salad dressing, cut up the bacon into small pieces and
    sprinkle on top, scatter the mushrooms over the salad, and then break the egg up into pieces and
    place on the top. Season the salad with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Dat's it!

    You could even put this salad on a lovely warm ciabatta roll (for another 2-3 UK points) for a more
    filling meal.

    YUM!

    Cheers, Petal
