Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
  2. Tear up and toss the ciabatta rolls with 1 tbsp olive oil on a baking tray. Season and bake for 8 mins until crisp, adding the almonds for the final min. Chop the nuts; set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, pit and halve the cherries over a bowl to catch any juices. Whisk the juices with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, maple syrup and red wine vinegar for a dressing. Season to taste.
  4. Cut the salad cheese into cubes. Mix the lamb’s lettuce and watercress with the cheese, croutons and cherries. Drizzle over the dressing, then divide among plates and scatter over the chopped almonds and a little black pepper to serve.
