Warm Avocado Salad with Spicy Chorizo

Warm Avocado Salad with Spicy Chorizo
Serves 4

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small ciabatta , torn into small bite-pieces
• 200g sliced chorizo
• 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 medium avocado, cubed
• 200g spinach
• 100g kale (leftover from here)

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.
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.
3. 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.

This meal was alright the night I made it, but vinegar soaked bread and spinach does -not- keep well. There isn't even a good way of separating out the ingredients and recombining them later. I'm writing this recipe off as a loss and I'm pretty sure I won't be using chorizo any time soon.
