1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Trim the root off the baby cos and discard any damaged leaves. Gently separate the leaves and place into a salad bowl. Trim both ends off the green beans. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
2. TO COOK THE PANCETTA AND PITA:
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the pancetta slices and fry for 1-2 mins on each side until crispy. Remove the pancetta and place onto a paper towel.
3. TO COOK THE VEGETABLES:
Wipe out the pan and place back over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the beans and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for a further 2 mins. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with half the dukkah. Add the tomatoes, beans, GF croutons and Caesar dressing to the bowl with the baby cos and toss gently to combine.
