avocado-caper-bacon lentil salad

150g lentils (use a salad variety, e.g. puy or beluga)
100g bacon
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic
3 tbsp of capers (rinse if salted)
1 avocado
1 lemon, zest and juice
a bunch of flat-leaf parsley

I like to soak the lentils, but just for up to 30 mins (otherwise they fall apart).
Cook the lentils (according to pack instructions - after soaking this will be fast, won't need more than 20 mins)

Chop the onion, garlic and bacon. I like to chop the sliced bacon into squares/chunks and do the onions with a food processor.

In a medium-sized saucepan fry the bacon in some olive oil until crisp. Add the onions and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the cooked lentils, stir, let it warm up.
Take the saucepan off the heat, add the chopped capers, parsley, zest of lemon, juice of lemon, avocado. Season to taste with pepper (and salt if you like, my caper is salty enough).

Serve with butter toast or as a side for meats.
