This simple salad is a bit like an express Caesar. Add some anchovies, bacon and egg if you like.

Ingredients

2 slices stale bread
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 heads baby cos lettuce, halved
1 tsp finely chopped parsley

Dressing

2 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp honey

Method

1. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. If necessary, thin the dressing to a pouring consistency with a little cold water.
2. Place the bread in a small food processor and pulse to coarse breadcrumbs. Heat a large frypan over medium heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Fry for just a minute, then add the breadcrumbs. Fry, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
3. Arrange the lettuce halves on a plate and pour over the dressing. Scatter with the breadcrumbs and parsley, then grind over plenty of black pepper and serve.
