3. Chop the tomatoes, pepper, coriander, lettuce and cucumber into pieces about half the size of the pasta and add to the bowl. Add the bacon cubes (if preferred) and mix everything lightly.

4. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and pound them in a pestle and mortar. Add the vinegar, avocado oil, honey and seasoning and mix thoroughly.
