Warm salad with bread and cheese
A leaf lettuce and tender greens salad warmed by garlicky toast and melted cheese. The greens stay crisp while their edges soften, and the bread soaks up the warm dressing. A fast weeknight dinner that wants nothing but the shelf.

Staples
- 4 tablespoons olive oil

- Slice 4 ounces of bread thickly and lay the slices on a sheet in a single layer. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and whisk into 4 tablespoons of olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Set an oven to 425 degrees F [220 degrees C] and toast the bread for 3 to 4 minutes, until just starting to colour. Brush the warm toast with half the garlic oil on both sides.

- Divide the warm cheesy toast between two plates and top with the dressed greens, letting them wilt slightly into the warm bread.
