Cooking Steps
• Roughly chop capers (reserve liquid). Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Microwave onion for 30 second bursts, until softened. Allow to cool.
• Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta into bite-sized chunks. 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.
• In a small bowl, combine capers, garlic aioli and a splash of the reserved caper liquid. Season with pepper and set aside. • In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, the honey, a drizzle of white wine vinegar, and a good drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
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!
