b) Pop the ciabatta onto a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with 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.

Get Prepped

Assemble and Serve

a) When you're ready to serve, add the baby leaf mix and croutons to the pesto-ranch dressing and toss to coat. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.
