Techniques
- leftover french toast
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
- blackberries
Use leftover French toast made from a hearty bread such as sourdough; supermarket bread goes too soft in the salad.
Why the French toast works as croutons
- yogurt
- olive oil
- vanilla extract
Mix a little yogurt, olive oil, a touch of vanilla extract and a little honey for the dressing.
Vanilla yogurt honey dressing
- honey
- 1 whole tangerine
Zest some of the tangerine into the dressing and add some of its juice, for a thin light dressing that just glazes the fruit.
Spread more yogurt on the plate as a base, drizzle with olive oil and pile the salad on top.

Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a tiny drizzle of honey, the remaining croutons and sprigs of mint.
