Method
-
1
Trim any tough ends from the greens, wash and dry them well, and tear big pieces to fork size.
-
2
Tear the bread into ¾-inch chunks. Toast them in half the olive oil over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning until crisp all over.
-
3
Mash the garlic and anchovies into a paste. Whisk in the mayonnaise, lemon juice and remaining oil until smooth, then stir in half the Parmesan.
-
4
Rinse the beans and drain them for 2 minutes, then coat them gently in a spoonful of the dressing.
-
5
Toss the greens with just enough dressing to coat, divide between plates, and top with the beans, croutons and the rest of the Parmesan.
