Ingredients

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small ciabatta, torn into small bite-pieces
• 2 x 80g packs sliced chorizo
• 250g pack baby plum or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• pinch sugar
• 1 large, ripe avocado, halved, stoned and sliced
• 150g bag baby leaf and herb salad

Directions

• STEP 1

  Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the ciabatta for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until starting to crisp and brown, then tip into a large salad bowl.

• STEP 2

  Lay the chorizo in the pan and dry-fry for 2 minutes until it gives out a red oil. Toss in the tomatoes and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. Drizzle over the vinegar, add the sugar and season well.

• STEP 3

  MIX TOGETHER Gently toss the avocado, salad and remaining olive oil with the croutons. Spoon over the chorizo and tomatoes and drizzle with any pan juices. Serve immediately.
