Instructions

Make your Croutons
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks.

b) Pop the ciabatta onto a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well.

c) Bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool, 5-10 mins.

Toast the Pine Nuts
2

a) Meanwhile, heat a small frying pan on medium heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the pine nuts and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

c) In a medium bowl, add the baked croutons, Parmigiano Reggiano, rocket and the olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount).

d) Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine, then transfer to a large serving dish.

Finish and Serve
3

a) Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the salad.

b) Drizzle over the balsamic glaze to finish.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Delicious and flavoursome side dish that impressed many. Some found the balsamic glaze and cheese combination clashed.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare. Several customers successfully made the croutons in an air fryer for perfect results.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding chicken, mozzarella, figs, or Parma ham to turn it into a filling main meal.
  • Versatility: Works well as a side for lighter mains or paired with dishes like cheeseburgers or naan breads.
  • Portions: Makes large portions, suitable for sharing or as a generous side for two people.
