It’s perfect salad weather in Canberra today. I just wish it was a little more warm and moist.
It’s mid Spring and the weather today in Canberra is pretty good. The maximum temperature will top out at 30 °C but sadly the humidity will remain <50%. I yearn for days with humidity >95% but they will not come to Canberra in my lifetime.
So what is a good lunch on a warm Spring day? Bacon salad of course. I love bacon and I’m getting to like salad more and more 🙂
Do you like the bright pretty colours? This was very easy to make.

30C!! Too hot for me! It was high twenties in Syd yesterday and It had me wishing for winter. The HUngry Dad would love this combo of his 2 fav things!
I hope the Hungry Dad gets lots of bacon and salad then 🙂
I love warm humid weather. Give me 34 °C and 95% humidity and I’m a very happy Yummy Lummy 🙂
