In a large bowl, combine ciabatta chunks, garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook ciabatta until golden and slightly crispy, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Capers have a strong flavour – add less if desired.
• Drain pickled onion. • Add croutons, cucumber, spinach & rocket mix and pickled onion to the dressing. • Transfer ciabatta crouton salad to a serving bowl. • Top with torn smoked salmon and drizzle with caper aioli. Enjoy!
