• 150g baby spinach leaves

• 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 shallots, white and pale green parts only, sliced finely
• ¾ cup ranch dressing

1. In a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat, sauté the bacon until golden brown, about 4 minutes.  Remove from the pan with tongs, leaving the fat in the pan, and place onto paper towel to drain.

2. Add the olive oil to the pan and when it is hot, add the bread.  Fry for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bread is golden and crunchy.  Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.

3. Assemble the salad just before serving.  In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cucumbers, avocadoes, tomatoes, shallots and the ½ cup of dressing and toss through gently.  

4. Arrange onto a serving platter and top with the prawns, bacon and croutons. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top.
