Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
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) Once the oven is hot, bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside.
a) While the croutons bake, pop the Serrano ham onto another baking tray and cook on the top shelf of your oven until crisp and golden, 5-7 mins.
b) Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Set aside your dressing for now.
c) Chop the Cheddar cheese into 1cm cubes.
d) Quarter, core and finely chop the apple (no need to peel).
a) When you're ready to serve, add the baked croutons, baby leaf mix, three quarters of the cheese and three quarters of the apple to the bowl of dressing.
b) Toss to fully coat in the dressing.
c) Divide the dressed salad between 2 serving bowls and scatter over the remaining Cheddar and apple.
