Ingredients
  

  • 12 wrappers wonton
  • 2.5 cups cos/romaine lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup cooked chicken diced
  • 1.5 rashers bacon diced
  • 0.25 cup bread diced finely (preferably stale)
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped (optional - for garnish)
  • Salt
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 fillets anchovy
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup mayonnaise preferably whole egg
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Milk to adjust consistency
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • Black pepper

Equipment

  • Muffin/cupcake tin
  • Blender or food processor
  • Non-stick pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Fit the wonton wrappers into each hole of a standard size muffin/cupcake tin. Spray the wontons lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Heat a small non-stick pan over high heat. Spray with oil, add bacon, and sauté until crispy, then remove and drain on absorbent paper towel.
  3. Return pan to stove, reduce heat to medium high, and spray pan with oil. Add finely diced bread. Shake pan (or stir) to brown evenly. Remove mini croutons from pan, scatter over a pinch of salt and set aside.
  4. Place dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If it seems too thick, use a tiny splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
  5. Place cos lettuce, chicken, and bacon in a bowl with 6 to 8 tbsp of dressing and toss gently to combine.
  6. Divide the salad between the wonton cups, top with croutons, a pinch of parmesan, and a sprinkle of parsley.
  7. Serve immediately.
