This recipe is a take on the classic BLT sandwich, with a twist. Crunchy greens play well with the tangy dressing. Great as a main dish or a side salad, also highly versatile based on availability of seasonal vegetables.

MasterFoods Professional Caesar Salad Dressing 2.6kg

1
Preheat oven 160°C, spray kale leaves with olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they just start to crisp. Take out and set aside to cool.
2
In a frying pan over medium heat, gently fry the prosciutto until crisp, then set aside.
3
Spray the Turkish bread with olive oil. In the same frying pan, cook in batches until golden brown, adding a sprinkling of dried Italian herbs towards the end.
4
In a large mixing bowl combine the kale, radicchio leaves, and tomatoes. Add enough dressing to evenly and lightly coat everything.
5
Snap the crisped prosciutto into large shards and add the Turkish croutons – add a little extra Caesar and serve.

1
Replace prosciutto with grilled haloumi and slices of avocado for a vegetarian option.
2
Add some lemon zest as a garnish for extra zing, or some classic dukkha for crunch.
3
To elevate the Turkish croutons even further, try adding a sprinkling of MasterFoods™ Professional Garlic Powder and finely grated parmesan cheese to coat the torn bread croutons while still hot.
4
Caesar dressing is also versatile for sandwiches, wraps, coating meats and roast vegetables.
