The tender, air-dried beef makes this simple salad satisfying enough to have as a main course.
Method
-
Remove the crusts from the bread and slice into small triangles. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the bread and fry on both sides until golden-brown. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
-
Meanwhile make the dressing. Combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk together with a fork until you obtain a creamy consistency. Remove the garlic clove from the dressing.
-
Arrange the lettuce leaves, rocket, radishes and olives on a serving dish, pour over the dressing and toss well. Arrange the eggs, bresaola and fried bread in the dish and scatter over the parmesan shavings.
