• Salt, to taste

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Add the chopped bacon, onion, tomato and mayonnaise.
• Mix gently until evenly combined.
• Season with salt, pepper and a light sprinkle of paprika to taste.
• Serve immediately with crackers, corn chips or fresh vegetable sticks.

Kitchen Notes

• Best served fresh, as avocado naturally discolours over time.
• Contains egg.
  Contains bacon (not suitable for vegetarians).
  May not be suitable for lunchboxes due to the egg content in some mayo – use an egg free mayo if you would like though it may change the taste.
