Ingredients

For 4 servings
  • 300 g grated Parmesan (plus a little more to garnish)
  • 150 g griddled chicken
  • 100 g lettuce
  • For the dressing
  • 1 natural yoghurt
  • 5 anchovies
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • pepper to taste
  • To garnish
  • cherry tomatoes optional

Step by step

  1. Put a square of baking paper in a hot frying pan, add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan and spread it into a round. Leave it over a medium-high heat until the cheese takes on colour.
  2. Take it out of the pan, drape it over the bottom of an upturned glass and shape it with your hands. Let it cool and you have your baskets. Repeat with the rest of the cheese.
  3. Finely shred the lettuce and cut the chicken into small pieces.
  4. For the dressing, put all the ingredients in a jug and blend.
  5. Mix the lettuce and chicken with the dressing and fill the baskets. If you like, add a few cherry tomatoes and a little more Parmesan.
  6. If you're not eating them straight away, keep everything separate and assemble just before serving.
