A turkey cobb salad isn't the quickest salad to throw together - it takes a little time and effort, but you will be rewarded with a meal packed with flavour.
(3 ½oz) sundried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
1
romaine lettuce, roughly shredded
3
avocadoes, peeled, stoned and sliced
125g
(4oz) blue cheese, we used Roquefort, crumbled
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Cut crusts off the bread, then cut into 2.5cm (1in) pieces. Scatter on to a baking tray and toss through 2tbsp olive oil and plenty of salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small baking dish, mix the turkey with a drizzle of the oil, the dried herbs and some seasoning. Put turkey and croutons into the oven for 15-18min (tossing the croutons occasionally), or until turkey is cooked through and croutons are golden and crisp. When turkey is cool, roughly shred it.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and fry prosciutto slices (in batches if necessary) until golden. Lift on to kitchen paper and set pan aside to reuse.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, onion slices and some seasoning. Return frying pan to a medium heat with 4tbsp of the remaining oil. When it’s hot, lift onion slices out of the flour (shake off excess) and fry for 2-3min until golden and crisp. Lift on to kitchen paper and set aside.
Step 5
Whisk together the remaining oil, vinegar, mustard and some seasoning and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine fresh and sundried tomatoes.
Step 6
Bring the shredded turkey, croutons, prosciutto, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, blue cheese and dressing to the table and let people dive in.
