Instructions

Bake the 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 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

2

a) Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board, face-down. Slice into 1cm thick slices.

b) In a large bowl, combine the pesto, ranch dressing and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount).

c) Tear the Serrano ham into small pieces.

Assemble and Serve

3

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.

b) Divide the salad between 2 serving bowls, then top with the avocado slices and Serrano pieces to finish.

Enjoy!
