Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was severely lacking in seasoning. Even with extra salt added, it was just... bland.

    Nice. Maybe wouldn't bother with the avocado dressing, just use avocado pieces and an oil and vinegar dressing instead. Added some leftover roast potato and made for an excellent lunch.

    This is an especially delicious salad. The avocado dressing is incredible. Marinating the tomatoes briefly in cider vinegar gave them an especially bright and sweet taste. A squeeze of lemon at the end was perfect. The bacon needed another three minutes in the oven- and we used a whole package instead of 3 ounces (for a family of four). This is going into our regular rotation.
