Making the cos lettuce salad
Step 1:
Rinse the lettuce, then cut it in half without separating the main stem completely. Wilt the lettuce halves in a pan with hot olive oil, ensuring they retain their structure. Once wilted, put them on a serving plate.
Step 2:
In the same pan, fry egg and bacon bits for a classic breakfast touch. Place the egg and bacon on top of the wilted Cos lettuce. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad, making sure to get it into the grooves of the lettuce.
Step 3:
Top your breakfast salad with croutons for added texture and flavour. Finish with an extra drizzle of the delicious Caesar dressing.
