15 mins

This is not your average sad desk salad! Crispy bacon, jammy eggs, tender roast chicken and crunchy croutons are tossed with kale and a zingy mustard dressing. It's big, bold and packed with protein.

Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 rashers lean back bacon, fat removed
  • 3 slices wholemeal bread (or gluten free seeded bread) 
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar or white balsamic vinegar)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 x 200g bag kale, tough stems removed
  • 1 romaine lettuce (around 200g), chopped
  • 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 250g cooked roast chicken, skin removed and shredded
  • 50g reduced-fat cheddar, grated
  • Black pepper
