Cook’s notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.

Instructions

To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and process to combine. Alternatively, if you are making it by hand, grind the anchovies to a paste, then combine with the remaining ingredients (see Note).

Place the kale, silverbeet and spinach in a large bowl, pour over the dressing and toss to coat. Allow to stand for 3 minutes to slightly soften and wilt the leaves. Add the croutons and toss to coat.

Tip the salad onto a serving platter or large bowl and top with the sliced roast chicken. Scatter with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and serve.
