Crisp lettuce wedges, silky verjuice dressing and a banging anchovy breadcrumb - the salad that holds its own next to a tomahawk.

Crisp, cool, and full of fresh herb flavour. Smashing the cucumbers rather than slicing them opens up the texture and lets the dressing soak right in — finished with pomegranate molasses for a subtle sweet-sharp hit that makes it anything but ordinary.

This salad does what every good dinner party side should do — cut through the richness of everything else on the table. Kale and shaved Brussels sprouts hold their texture even after dressing, which makes this an ideal make-ahead salad. Dress it an hour before serving and it only improves.
