OK, still going along with the mayo off....apricot, blue cheese, bacon and black pudding salad

Topped with garlic mayonnaise

It was supposed to be figs. Note to self: greengrocers aren't supermarkets, and seasonal produce aren't crisps; just because they had them yesterday, doesn't mean they will have them today!

[Subtle_badger]

Doh! Too late by minutes!

[Shield-Maiden]

That sounds, and looks, amazing! 😋

Looks delicious! Hope you enjoyed it!

It was amazing. I still have the ingredients. I will make a variant on Sunday.

Ok, own up, it was all the talk the other day about black pudding wasn’t it. You just had to have some and the mayo was just incidental.

[Subtle_badger in reply to Arthrath]

Yes, sort of.

The black pudding was in my fridge because of the chat. It was a last minute inspiration to add it to the salad.

Ooo lovely! Apart from the black pudding 🤢😃

[Subtle_badger in reply to help2020]

Yup. That's the marmite of charcuterie, and also a last minute addition to my recipe.

You might want 3 rashes of bacon if you omit it.

Oo I think I might and I would probably replace the apricot for avocado 🥑 😊 I mix my Mayo with hard boiled eggs with cheese and salt for breakfast and take it to work and eat the rest for lunch... much more boring!!!!

[Subtle_badger in reply to help2020]

Avocado would be fine, but it is then a very different dish. It's the mix of salty and sweet that makes it.

(I considered adding my very ripe avocado, but decided to have it for dessert instead)

[help2020 in reply to Subtle_badger]

Ah yes I see very nice. Oh avo for dessert- thanks for the great idea!

[Subtle_badger in reply to help2020]

Nectarine, figs, plums, peaches, even citrus segments, apples, pears, grapes.

Lots of ways to go, depending on your carb tolerance and your taste buds.
