Although the classic recipe calls for chicken, it can be replaced with other options to suit vegetarians and pescatarians. Skip cheese altogether if on a dairy free plan.
Ingredients:
Baby gem or romaine lettuce
Protein of choice: chicken, turkey or prawns (you can use leftover meat, e.g. from a roast or ready made rotisserie chicken); vegetarians can use chickpeas
Hard boiled egg
Parmesan or Grana Padano or hard sheep´s chees like Manchego or similar
Optional: crispy bacon, a few anchovies
Salad dressing, lazy version:
2 table spoons of quality mayonnaise, preferably made with olive oil
1 tea spoon of Dijon mustard
2 table spoons of freshly boiled water
1/2 small clove of garlic, skip if sensitive
Instructions:
Combine dressing ingredients with a fork.
Roughly tear the leaves and place on a plate. Add dressing and coat the leaves with your hand.
Arrange toppings: spread the protein, bacon, eggs and anchovies and sprinkle with shaved cheese.
