Ingredients
- 360 g rindless streaky bacon, roughly chopped
- 500 g green beans, trimmed
- 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ bunch coriander, roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
Instructions
1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. While the water is heating, heat a large non-stick dry frying pan over medium heat, then add the bacon pieces and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp and rendered, then remove from the heat.
2. When the water is boiling, blanch the green beans until just tender, but still crisp, then drain.
3. Layer the cherry tomatoes, coriander, lemon zest and juice, blanched green beans and bacon (don’t forget the rendered bacon fat from the pan, as this forms the dressing!) in a large mixing bowl. Just before serving, toss gently to coat.
