Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the bread pieces and chicken fat in a roasting tin with a pinch of seasoning. Roast for 15-20 mins until crisp, then set aside to cool slightly.
step 2
Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to a boil and tip in the green beans, bring to a boil again and cook for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well and tip into a bowl of ice-cold water for 10 mins. Drain and dry the beans.
step 3
Mix together the green beans, chicken, sundried tomatoes, vine tomatoes and croutons in a large bowl. Combine the roasted garlic, mustard, vinegar, honey and olive oil, then season to taste. Drizzle over the salad, toss well and season if needed. Serve on a platter with the parsley scatted over the top.
