1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cover a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. Divide the parmesan into 6 evenly spaced small piles on the baking sheet and flatten them into circles. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, let them sit for 1 minute to set then put on a rack to cool.
2. Put all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl, season and whisk well. Arrange the watercress, red chicory, asparagus, orange segments and olives on each plate.
3. Just before serving, trickle a little dressing over and top with a parmesan wafer.

Know-how

Use non-stick or silicon-coated baking paper for the parmesan wafers or they will stick.

  Gorgeous salad. I left out the Parmesan and added thick slices of creamy cheese (you could use brie, or goat's cheese). It was wonderful.
