CRISPY CROUTONS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baguette chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, and season. Bake in the hot oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy, shifting halfway.
BRING THE CRISP
Place a pan over a medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, add the bacon chunks and fry for 2-4 minutes, until golden and crispy, shifting as it colours. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
GREEN KEEN BEANS
Boil the kettle. Submerge the halved green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion.
DRESSED TO THE NINES
In a blender, add the caesar dressing, the lemon juice (to taste), the grated cheese, the drained Anchovies (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Pulse until smooth and well combined. On completion, loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
SCRUMPTIOUS SALAD!
In a salad bowl, toss the shredded leaves, the halved baby tomatoes, and the blanched green beans. Top with the crispy bacon chunks and the croutons. Drizzle over the creamy dressing. Finish with a garnish of the cheese ribbons. Your feast awaits!
