Ingredients

1 ciabatta roll (approx 90g)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 Little Gem lettuces

4 radishes

1/2 lemon

100g low-fat Greek yogurt

1 tsp wholegrain mustard

1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Black pepper

20g grated Pecorino cheese (or Parmesan cheese)

Method

1
This recipe is part of our 'cooking with kids' feature and has instructions for children.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Slice the ciabatta on the chopping board. Cut each slice into 2cm cubes.
3
Put the cubes in a bowl. Add the oil and stir to coat evenly. Spread out the ciabatta pieces on the baking tray.
4
Bake for 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Take out of the oven and leave to cool on the tray.
5
Pull the leaves off the lettuce. Wash with the radishes in a colander, then dry on kitchen paper. Tear the leaves into the salad bowl.
6
Cut off the top and bottom of the radishes. Slice thinly and add to the bowl.
7
Squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a measuring jug. Add the yogurt, mustard, vinegar and 3 grinds of black pepper. Whisk together with a fork.
8
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss it all together. Transfer to individual plates.
9
Add the croutons. Sprinkle a little grated cheese over the top and it's ready to serve.
