I needed a few bites to get used to the beer-dressing, but after that it was quite nice. I had this salad for lunch and two people wanted to try a little bit and said it was nice. I find the bacon crucial in this recipe - I guess I would have rated it lower without it. The bacon goes well with the beer. I would add more onion another time, although I don't think I will make it again. This salad would make a nice side dish to a strong sausage. I made this salad for the Zaar World Tour 2 and I found it fun experimenting with a beer dressing.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
