INGREDIENTS

For the salad

A rough guide, feel free to scale as you wish

1 big pack of tenderstem broccoli

1-2 heads of Romaine lettuce

Hunk of stale bread or a ciabatta roll

½ tbsp za’atar

Handful of radishes

1 red onion

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp olive oil + more for croutons

Parmesan or Pecorino for serving

 

For the fake Caeser-ish dressing

2 tbsp yoghurt

1/2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp worcestershire

1/4 garlic clove, grated

Squeeze of lemon

Lots of black pepper

METHOD

First, finely slice your radishes and red onion. Put them into a small bowl and cover with white wine vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar and a pinch of salt, give them a good scrunch with your hands to get them going.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Tear up the bread into 2cm pieces, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and za’atar. Pop them them in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Heat a glug of oil in a pan over a high heat and fry the broccoli until charred and tender. Set aside whilst you roughly chop or tear the romaine.

Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl.

To serve, mix the salad-y bits in a large bowl with the fake caesar dressing, then top with parmesan shavings and pickled radishes and onions.
