Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 3 slices white bread, crusts removed
• 1 teaspoon sunflower oil
• ¼ cup anchovy fillets, drained
• 1 teaspoon Maille® Dijon Originale mustard
• 4 smoked chicken breasts, sliced
• 2 small heads romaine lettuce, roughly torn
• ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss in the sunflower oil, salt and pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven to cool.

Step 2

Place the egg, garlic, anchovy fillets, Maille® Dijon Originale mustard and vinegar into a food processor. Blend for 30 seconds, before slowly adding the olive oil. When all of the oil is added, the dressing should be slightly thickened.

Step 3

Toss the roughly torn lettuce leaves in a mixing bowl, with the dressing, making sure that all of the leaves are coated. Arrange leaves on a serving platter, top with the slices of smoked chicken breast, croutons and Parmesan cheese.
