Cos lettuce is bright and crunchy at this time of the year and makes the perfect base for a salad. Bacon adds a delicious salty flavour, while adding yoghurt to the aioli creates a light yet creamy dressing.
Ingredients
| 1 | Red pepper |
| 1 | Green pepper |
| 4 | Bacon rashers, sliced (Main) |

Directions

- Add bacon to the peppers along with the potatoes, lettuce, eggs and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, tossing gently.
