In a frying pan, cook the bacon on high until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and slice.

Notes

• This recipe makes a lot of dressing. It is great to use like a regular mayonnaise and it is packed full of flavour.
• If you are taking this salad to a party keep all of the ingredients separate and toss it when you get there.
• The dressing is so easy you will never ever buy caesar dressing in a bottle again.
