- Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Toss the bread in 2 tbsp oil and season well. Spread on a baking sheet and cook until crisp and golden - about 10 minutes.
- Put the egg, anchovy fillets, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard in a blender or food processor, whizz together, then gradually add 150ml of olive oil in a thin stream to make a creamy dressing. Season.
- Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic. Throw in the lettuce and dressing. Toss to coat, then scatter over the Parmesan and croutons.
Know-how
For a posh starter, make long croutons using thin, diagonal slices of ciabatta and toss them in oil and grated Parmesan before baking.
