Method

• Firstly make the dressing; mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
• Pick over the rocket/watercress by picking off the tips of the rocket/watercress, I like to leave them as a little bunch. With the remaining larger leaves remove these from the stalks. Place into a bowl. Add the hazelnuts and set aside.
• Heat up a fry pan and cook the bacon over a moderate-to-high heat until the bacon starts to go crisp. Add the apple and coat in the bacon fat. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until the apple just starts to soften.
• Add the hot bacon and apple to the rocket/watercress mixture. Pour the dressing into the pan and swirl around, don’t forget to get the bits of the bottom of the pan.
• Check for seasoning and pour over the salad. Toss gently together.
• Serve immediately
