Method
Preheat a medium hot grill. Arrange bacon rashers on the grill pan. Cook for 3-5 min until crisp and cooked. Leave to cool. Then, using scissors, cut into strips.
In a large salad bowl, toss together the bacon, watercress, chicory, little gem, orange segments, radishes and celery.
Halve, stone and peel the avocados. Cut into slices. Toss in the lemon juice until well coated, to help prevent discolouration. Add to the salad.
Peel and quarter the eggs. Toss into the salad.
Combine dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar. Shake together until thoroughly mixed. Pour over the salad. Toss until well mixed.
