CRUNCHY CROUTONS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine 2 tsp of oil, ½ the grated garlic and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Add the bread chunks and toss until fully coated. Place on a roasting tray and roast in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy, shifting halfway.
MARINATION STATION!
In a bowl, add the red wine vinegar, 10ml of water and 5ml of a sweetener of choice. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the sliced tomatoes, cucumber half-moons, and the halved artichoke hearts. Toss until coated and set aside to marinate.
NUTS ABOUT NUTS
Place the pine nuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
IT’S DRIZZLING!
Pick the leaves from the rinsed basil. Discard the stems and roughly tear the leaves. Set aside. Drain and reserve the marinating liquid from the tomatoes and artichokes. In a small bowl, mix the remaining garlic (to taste), the yoghurt and some seasoning. Add the reserved marinating liquid in 5ml increment until drizzling consistency, adding water if necessary.
THE MAIN EVENT
Make a bed of the salad leaves. Top with the marinate tomatoes, cucumbers, and artichokes. Sprinkle over the sourdough croutons, the drained capers, the torn basil leaves and the toasted pine nuts. Drizzle over the yoghurt dressing and top with the cheese shavings. Simple yet stunning, Chef!
