INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 oz. diced streaky (fatty) bacon slices, preferably dry-cured, diced
• 1 eating apple, cored and chopped
• 2 small heads cos or romaine lettuce
• a squeeze of lemon juice
• salt and ground black pepper
• For the dressing:
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp cider
• 2 oz. Camembert or similar cheese, chopped
• a dash of cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS

• Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the diced streaky bacon. Cook over a medium heat until crisp and golden. Add the apple and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and softened.
• Tear the cos or romaine lettuce carefully into bite-size pieces.
• To make the dressing, heat the ingredients together in a small pan over a low heat until smooth and creamy.
• Toss the lettuce with the remaining oil and the lemon juice, season, then divide among four plates. Heap the warm apple and bacon on top, then drizzle over the dressing.
• Variation: For a slightly tangier topping, replace the Camembert with a mild and creamy blue cheese, such as Cambozola.
